Default Es330 upper grille on a ES300?

I have an 03 ES300 and am thinking about possibly switching my grille to a 05-06 ES330 style. Does anyone know if it’s a direct fit? It seems to be from the images I have looked at, but I just want to be sure before spending $90 on the grille. Also looking for replacement part numbers for the door pillar posts as mine are dented and dull after years of abuse

I figured it out. The only different is the hood latch and bumper, so those must be changed to accommodate the change

Thanks for the update. I think this question has been asked in other threads now we know.

OP lets us know how it goes if you are going to do this. I have an '04 and I'm interested, thanks.

The front bumper is different too unfortunately. I went ahead and modded my stock grille instead of swapping.

I had an 02 ES300 and I put a 2005 grill. Plug n play. Changed the bumper too. Fog lights are round. updated head lights.

Well plug and play provided you change the bumper and hood latch.

Nah, just wanted the updated bumper. Didn't need to change. But that's just me.
