Do all three.

Change those wheels.

If you have the funds, get a body kit.

Check out memoryfab.com. Dignified line

I would go with the side skirts, rear lip spoiler, and the exclusive front lip spoiler.

I think lexus perfected the es 300 wheels for your car. You should keep them
I would go
1. Drop
2. Sub/Amp
3. Intake.

drop it and call it a day







a shock/spring combo would be nice but to me, the drop with springs is so subtle that it really isn't even worth it. I say get coilovers with custom springs (softer spring rates)

It depends on how you're gonna drive the car. Is it just for show or performance?

I'm dropped on JIC flt a1 coilovers. They're stiff but I'm going to get softer springs for them.
