Is that a truly functional headlight washwers? I've never seen such before. Love the 7" screen. Does that screen work with iPod and iPhone too? Antenna is can be fixed easily if it is not working right, unless you're playing the radio while taking pix.

All I can say is, "Holy cow!"

Your ES is looking real good there. I like the headlights. I'm curious as well, are the headlight washers functional?

Yeah, us lucky Canucks got headlight washers whereas AFAIK they weren't available on the USDM Lexus. Work pretty good too. I've noticed the 1gen LS's here have the same washers. I have a buddy who just last week asked, "what are those things on your front bumper, some kind of sensors or something?" So, I showed him and then he went "holy crap, that's cool!"
