What kind of springs/struts are you using? They seem to do a good job of reducing the fender gap.

Are your rims 18x8 or 18x7.5? What model Kruz rims are those? Snodon?

Wait a minute, those look like Kruz Atlas. If I'm correct, for 18" those only come in 18x8.5"!!!!! How did they fit on your ES?????

How do they fit? Any rubbing? Is that with a 40mm offset on 225/40/18 tire? I was considering rims in 18x8.5 but was told they would be too wide.

Looks nice, I like it. I think thick 5 spoke style wheels works well on the ES.

I did one of my taillights yesterday, but I just did the turn signal and left the red in the middle on my 92. The 94-96 are a little different, aren't they? It was a little more difficult than the headlights, but nothing too bad. There are tabs holding it together a little, you'll have to pry out around those tabs. Start opening the light from the license plate side, I didn't have to take it totally apart. I started pulling it out from the tabs on the side where you can see them right in the open (I think it was the bottom), then got that edge apart and pushed it down out of the tabs on the other edge. Pull out the whole bar with the signal and backup lights, I had to basically break the orange lens out of the bar, but then superglue the clear lens back in position and put it all back together. The clear lens in the signal didn't fit quite as well as I thought it would, so if you look close you can tell it's not exactly right, but it looks good unless you're really looking for it. Just take your time and be careful not to crack the outside lens.

There used to be a member here who had air bags on an ES, I don't think he's around anymore but a search would probably bring up some of his posts.

I got Tokico Blue strut inserts from www.shox.com for about $250 I believe. I had a good experience with shox.com and have liked the struts, so that's one direction you could go if you'd like.
