Default My 96 ES's new look! (new pics)

Got the kit installed.... Aero Magic front lip, Autocouture Exclusive sideskirts/rear bumper and Wisesports style VIP wing. Also had the engine cover painted the same color of the car, along with some blue dress up hoses. Added a short ram pipe w/filter and strut bar just for the car show I am attending this Sunday. Also had a 7" in dash monitor and some subs put in. Only have pics of the exterior, I'll get the rest later. Enjoy.

Very clean! I like it. Time for some 19" multipiece staggered rims?

Very nice Juan, congrats on keeping on the DL and waiting for the right moment to display your beauty amongst us I especially love the 1st and 5th pics. Now that's how a 1st-gen ES is supposed to be modified cleanly!

Just wanted to thank Robert C., {-.-} for his help in obtaining the kit from Japan.... It took a bit, but finally!

I don't think I'd consider 19's, driving with 18's is already hard enough here on Guam's roads... If you notice the first pic, that's an access road that leads up to my house which starts off with a mini-incline... Have to angle going up and down or else scrape scrape scrape.

MCV20, my friend was sticking himself outta the car with my cam (dangerous I know) and just started snapping away

thanks all the comments, I'm really happy with the results

Nice! Congrats on the 2nd place!

If you dont mind sharing, what kind of money are we looking at for each of those kit pieces?

Kind of a bitter-sweet victory... Only first place gets a trophy 6 feet in height. I wish they had trophies for every place. I had to settle for $100. Lame, considering the entrance fee was $50.

btw, the kit is second hand.... so I am not sure how much each piece will cost. L-tuned is carrying the full Autocouture Exclusive kit, but not the Aero Magic front lip.
