it looks a lot different when they actually clamp it on to the body... ill get the dude to do that today and post more pics... this dude made that **** outta steel (its thin though).. once all the parts are done ima get it covered in fiberglass... i got the idea off a supra front bumper i liked..

i just turned my car in last week, and for everything to be done (side skirts, rear bumper and the door panels) you know how the older es300's got 2 tone door panels? and the bottom kinda sticks out more than the top? im having the dude take the bottom part off and smooth that shiz out so it'll look like one piece.. the paint job is gonna be ill (i got an idea.. but im DEF open to suggestions)... i know this ****s gonna be mad ricey for a lexus.. but **** it,.. i havnt seen (m)ANY like it...

i really dont even wanna talk about the damn price all i know is ima be hella broke for a while... but **** it.. my baby needed a facelift

here are some pics of my car before i put it in there (and a couple of interior shots)... i wanna get the interior redone too... any ideas? (the color of the car will be blue and grey)

ummmmm....
Honestly, I really don't like the look of it, but if you do, then by all means go for it.
How much is this all gonna cost you?

Truthfully, i dont like it. Looks the bumper was made to get more air to an intercooler. Too much for an ES.

I think it could turn out nice, it's just way too big, vertically.

all of this is in my opinion, so dont be too offended.

1. the front bumper is a horrible copy of the feelz kit.
2. the feelz kit is out of style.
3. the front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper wont 'flow'... meaning they just wont look right together.. the lines just wont match up
4. it probably would have been more cost effective to import a jdm kit


if anything, i give you props for doing something original, but i have to be honest and say it really isnt my style

I dunno about that.The es300 is not made to go fast bro,I think it might look good for that year. I'M SURE EVERYONE AGREES THE ES300 IS NOT RACER PLATFORM.It's LUXURY.

I think VIP is the only way to go in Japan.. When your ES starts to look like the Batmobile, then you need to step back a bit and have good hard think!

LOL batmobile

but yea, I love the Evolution bodykit. Hopefully Steve and L-Tuned Parts will have those kits available one day, instead of the Skipper one.
