Everything under the hood and drivetrain should work. A Lexus is a Toyota. Your model except for the minor body changes is a Camry V6.

How about a Strut and the rim? My car needs both of those and im just trying to figure out the price situations. the mech. said 800 for installation of the rim and strut with labor. crazy sounding in NJ?

body parts are not interchangeable. Under hood parts and drivetrain should be compatible as long as it's made for a v6 camry. I've changed my struts to coilovers, and if your old strut is still in good condition it's almost as simple as putting it on and torqueing to spec and getting an alignment (if you don't want to pay a mechanic to do this). Is it an alloy wheel that comes stock with the car? If yes, try www.taprecycling.com to see if they have some in stock off totaled cars. E-mail them with your year/model and part that's required, they're staff is usually quick to reply. Get your strut from them too if needed and whatever body part!

To answer your main question, fender, bumper, hood, and lights CAN NOT be changed from a toyota to a Lexus. Axle, YES.
