exquisit

as the title suggests

this is because some sites have parts for 98-00 and have a different listing for 01-05
this is mainly for external parts
but in any case... is there a difference?

SEARCH please

You can look at this thread
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=266534

and see changes, they also went to the 300. The BIGGEST change was the addititon of e-shift from 01-05

Tails/grill/wheels/headlight tint are the main exterior changes (if not the only exterior changes).

Aftermarket parts fit all 98-05 GS 300s

No problem. I bet a lot of people here didn't know "all" of the changes to the 01 model update either.
