Hey there What’s going on
Weird question
we have a 04 Toyota Avalon that has a beautiful interior but I hate the bumpers it comes with.
i love the Lexus bumpers which are taller and sexier. Ie es430
what Lexus bumpers, side skits, grills, steering wheel, center console etc can I use for the 04 Avalon?
thiughts welcomes
thank you

They are on the same body and with drivetrain similar (the Toyota models lagged a few years - for example the 2004 Avalon was running on the 2001 ES drivetrain; it didn't get updated until 2005my). But sheet metal, and interior other than small fixtures is quite different. If you want an ES or LS you should just sell your car and buy what you want - way cheaper that way than trying to paste and match. I do think from a sheer exterior styling pov, that gen Avalon has more in common with a contemporary LS than a Camry or ES. So I think I understand you point. But the bumpers are less tastefully integrated and stand out from certain angles as an ugly chin and rear vs more integrated on an LS.
I agree the interior of the 2004 (last of 2nd gen Avalon) was nice, it was very similar to the 3ES. Again, it was kept behind the Lexus for fear of competition. In/after the 2005 my, Toyota started making things more parallel and bumping the Avalon up in the overall pecking order.
