I've got a 2001 Avalon XLS and I'm trying to track down a gold front grille badge to swap out the stock silver one. The problem is they're nearly impossible to find on their own. The only gold Avalon badges I can consistently find online are the rear ones. When a gold front grille badge does pop up, it's almost always listed as part of a full grille assembly, which I don't need.

I'm wondering if the same-era Camry (XV20, late 90s/early 2000s) uses an identical or interchangeable badge. Toyota reused a lot of parts across platforms during this generation, so it seems plausible, but I don't want to order something blind and find out the fitment is off. Also curious if anyone has used a gold rear badge on the front with some modifications, since those are much easier to come by.

Anyone done either of these or know if the sizes line up? If you know of any other models from this era that share the badge, I'd love to hear that too.

Appreciate any help!

Recently bought a 2001 Avalon XLS without a sunroof. Wondering if anyone knows of any compatible roof racks/crossbars.

Thanks!

In the market for a 2000 to 2004 Toyota Avalon as a daily driver and road trip car. Ideally looking for something with leather seats, JBL sound system, bench seat, clean title, under 130k miles, and any color except gold.

Any advice on what to look for or watch out for on this generation? Common issues, things to inspect, anything the community recommends?

Also open to leads if anyone knows of something available in Northern or Southern California. Thanks.

I found one for $6k with ~130k miles but with immaculate service history and has been with one owner. I recently sold my TSX sportwagon for some extra cash and figured this would be a fun replacement while still having money left over. Obviously it won't have the comfort and all the bells and whistles of the Acura, but I just think they're so cool. I originally wanted one before my Acura.

Let me know your thoughts.
