Transformation of the ES
Ok so I've been working on my ride for Carlise this year pretty much since Carlise ended last year. Just wanted to throw up a thread on things I've been working on for the last few months on and off. And trust more to come.
Day before Carlise last year
Systems setup at time of Carlise.
End of May. New shoes.

i will look at this many times to come by my initial impression of the way your car looks it that the first shots were of an amazing car, the new rims didn't raise that, if anything lowered it's beauty a little....

Well thats all for now but def looking at putting up some more mods. I'm trying to get her to point I feel she looks good 
Looking to get a kit very soon and then eventually doing what needs to be done and go air. Still debating if I want to go with a more aggressive wheel fitment but we'll see.
Just wanna let all the ES guys know anything is possible. And I was very motivated from all the ES OGs (Gato, HoeBag, MCV20, ect...) so hopefully I can too motivate another fellow ES owner. Mods To Be Continued......
