Default Bodykit/Performance parts avail. for '95 ES300??

Are there any performance parts and bodykits for a '95 ES300? I saw there was the Xenon bodykit, and an intake or two - but that's seems to be alll i can find. Does anyone know of anything else that's out there? JDM Items also perhaps? If you could give me any sort of lead, that would be great

Thanks

Check www.l-tunedparts.com for another kit....
JDM kits, are available.... but at a cost, again try L-Tuned.
What else? There are jdm parts such as the power folding mirrors, emblems, sidemarkers, etc. available on Ebay from time to time.
You could try to get some rims... maybe even a drop...
Try the search engine, lots of good stuff and probably lots of answers to any other question you might have about your ES.

As far as I know, there is none in existance for the '92-'96 ES straight from the US market. Most likely you will have to order a kit out of Japan, but that means not only overrated prices, but also insane freight and shipping charges (and longer turnaround time). Use the search engine to look up JDM body kits for the ES if inclined. IMO it may be best to get something completely customized and fabricated from a reputable body shop.

I have seen a couple people now say this in regards to aero parts for the ES... Im guessing that you have never compared the quality and workmanship of a genuine Japanese aero part compared to a knock off or cheap aero part? The difference is huge and worth the price. You have to pay to play- regardless of what car you are modifying.

Trying to talk somebody into having a shop make a custom kit is silly- it will cost the same if not cheaper in the long run to get a kit shipped over from japan- and dont worry about originality, you will probably one of the first in the states with the kit-

"true 'dat."

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be much for the car though. The reason i was asking was because someone came into my shop asking for performance parts for his '95 ES300. At first, i thought it was a 2JZ variant, until i saw it was a V-6. So i did some research and was coming up w/ very little in both aero and performance. I gave the guy some prices on the JDM kits, like that Skipper kit (IMO looks pretty good - nice 'n clean) but i really don't think he's going to come through and get it (i've got a feeling that he probabaly wouldn't want to spend the cash it's gonna take).

But... that brings me to another topic: if you guys/girls are interested in performance parts - what would you be looking for? We can do custom work. I'm talking a twin-turbo kit. We've already done them for other cars, specifically an 89 CRX w/ a JDM ZC Motor that we grafted a 1st Gen eclispe turbo onto. We have the capabilities to make the parts, we would just need an initial car for prototyping-purposes. Headers even?

not a bad idea... We made a thread about all the different body kits, maybe that should be stickied.
