Default Difference in bumpers?
I wanted to know what's the difference between the 95 bumper (I have now) and the newer 97 bumpers?

Someone help me out. The only thing I see is the vent below the Lexus emblem.

thats basically it, just the front vent/grill and then the bottom cut outs are shaped differently, as well as rounded fog's. Ohh yeah not to mention the over all shape..

Yeah the early design was kind of bland. I think the grille was the best touch up they made. I know it serves no real purpose, but it gives it so much more character and complete's the car's face.

the 97 bumper is lower too by the way, the 95 one looks like it was made with the consideration of a lip added
