nice air bag suspension for the ES, the first one I saw.

I wanted to do that for a long time, can't find a good body shop to do it in here NYC.

where you live? how is the ride with the suspension?

tell us more about it. i am sure lot of people want to know about it.

He's got a video in the LexusLobby. I think his ID is 96Pusher or something like that. The thing is on hydraulics... crazy stuff indeed.

My crappy Lexus actually has hydraulics on it, not airbags. I built the suspension myself. As for the ride, it is o.k. when I'm cruisin' around my hometown of Lexington, SC, but let's just say it doesn't ride like a Lexus anymore. I'm adding accumalators soon, which will make it ride even better. If you would like to know more about it, click here. Also, check out my video that ramsee1 spoke about. Thanks for you're kind compliments!

Hey man, while you're here. Did you remove all the symbols off your ES? I wanted to do the same, but I'm hering that the "L" is drilled to the body. Any ideas? Thanks.

Yes, I removed the "Lexus" and "ES300" emblems off my car, but I left the "L" emblems after replacing them with new ones. One thing you should know is that there are mounting holes in the body behind the emblems. I had them welded closed by the body shop that repainted my car, along with shaving all the door handles and the antenna. So, if you don't plan on repainting your car immediately after removing the emblems, I wouldn't recommend removing them.

That's what I was afraid of. I think I at least want to take the gold ones off and put silver ones on. I also have pinstriping I want to remove. We will see... Thanks for your help.

The emblems do not cost very much, so replacing the gold ones with chrome would probably be your best option. That's what I would do. And I feel your pain about the dreaded pinstripe. I was SO happy to get my Lex repainted so I could get rid of that stupid pinstriping, not to mention the two-tone paint. Anyways.....glad I could help.
