The transformation of my ES
As requested, I decided to make a build thread of my ES. She's come a long way from where she started and to say the least, I am very proud of it. I bought her in April of 2013 as my first car, paying for every cent of her. Even then I was proud. Pictures of the day I brought her home
I had to ditch the ugly DRLs as my first project, so I made the fog light mod, then I plastidipped the emblems and grille black
Next was the trunk lip I found on ebay, painted to match
And that was all I did for that summer, so this is how she looked over this past winter
And then came the 15% tint all around in March
Cleaned up the exhaust
Right before the front lip, I ended up buying all 4 oem struts that I found on ebay along with swaybar endlinks and bushing and had all of that installed by a family friend local garage, and wow, I almost couldn't believe how much of a difference those new struts and bushings made, my ride is ultra quiet and ultra smooth after that.
Added the front lip, which I am in love with
A couple tweaks here and there before the new rims
Went and did a self acclaimed photoshoot
Washing up
And finally, my biggest and best addition yet, 2010-12 ES350 Rims gotten tons of compliments just driving around
This had to be my favorite shot of the car, you can see my old rims in background
October 2014:
Washed, waxed, and the works, decided to take some cool fall photos
Well guys, this the journey of my ES thus far. Hope you guys like what I've done
