Default Toyota MarkII JZX90

Is the ES300 the same model, just different panels as the Toyota MarkII JZX90? They look similar, but I'm not sure. If there is, is there a way to order parts from Japan to do a conversion? I LOVE the way the Toyota MarkII JZX90 looks in Royal Saphire Pearl (a supra color) and I would like to have one myself one day.

So does that mean they're pretty much on the same chassis? Like the Levin and Trueno, Previa and Emina Lucica, etc?

No. Because the MCV10/20/30/31 chassis has NO relation to a JZX chassis. FWD vs RWD chassis. JZX chassis uses inline JZ series motors. The ES is only related to the Camry, Highlander, Klueger V, Harrier, RX, Avalon, Solara, Sienna and etc. Nothing else.

LOL WTF Where the hell have I been. I've been sitting here thinking that all Lexus' and Solaras are RWD and all had JZ engines....LOL. Well I always thought that except for the V8's.
