Wow, love the Lex. The rims look fantastic. You make me want to get started on adding some extras to my Lex. Thanks for the motivation.

+1 on the tint. That's an easy mod to do! Love the pics.

^Thanks for the complement and welcome to CL man..nice to see peeps still postin on these old pics...I have made many many posts about what sizes and offsets the es with take....a popular easy option is some nice is300 17's but there are so many ways you can go. I wouldn't screw around with gloss paints its a step down from the factory pearl. If you do any respray the only "improvement" would be to go with starfire paints like I went with other than that its just a waste of time

Gonna bring this thread back from the dead. Is the all white a special edition? (I'm drooling on my keyboard. That is the hottest ES I've seen. Rims and all.)

Negative. Choas had it especially painted for himself. It came out splendidly too, didn't it?

Sure did! Actually, I bet it wouldn't be too hard or too insanely expensive to have a shop color match and paint the plastic moldings. Definitely something to look into for when I get another ES. My 92 was the typical white with grey molding on the bottom. I'd have painted it just like that had i thought of it. (I'm sill shopping for a good deal on an 00-01. I'd love one of the same colors I had before.)

Great looking 300! I am really considering the mono tone. Am I correct that this is a 00-01 ES? The clear tail lights suggest that?

That was one of the questions I asked a while ago. Yes, the highly sought after clear tails are from 00-01 models.

It's a long story with that car; This happened He had it completely resprayed... It wasn't the stock white ES300 color

His is a 1997 ES300, it came out looking like it had the 01 tails. See above link.

If you like the monotone paint search on here and the 'hot pics' thread, in japan a lot of these guys have done the monotone so there is an abundance of pics out there
