Default Car as it sits now...

Im waitin on some springs from a fellow CL member. i cleaned it recently and wanted to know what you guys think.





Silverstar lows, and 3000k hid fogs (they're not really yellow enough though)

EDIT: oh yeah, LED Licence plate lights too, i really like the look.

212k miles on the odo now.

wait, u mean that antenna isnt factory? ive never noticed that no other es has one until now. This explains why i have this nokia thing near my cabin air filter...i feel like an idiot now. funny story about the camry rims...

My dad needed a good set of tires to go down to Virginia from NJ, so we swapped rims..i got new tires on his camry rims and never changed back.

but seriously, never paid attention to that detail..and i usually notice the littlest things

I bet that rear antenna mod is the easiest mod ES3_Ray will ever do on his ride

Car looks sweet, btw.

P.S. I agree - LED licence plate lights look very cool. I bought a set for mine from Superbrightleds.com but after a few months, one of them started rapidly flashing on and off. So, now I'm back to regular bulbs until I get new LEDs.

man those wheels got to go... it just shows how much wheels can change the look of a car.

Funny story, my mom had a flat tire on her 00 avalon xls,drove on the flat for a while ruining the tire completely... instead of buying new tires we just put my brothers old 15" hubcaps off his 97 avalon... my mom's car looks so chep with them its not even funny... been like that for about a year now.

Point is, wheels do make a big difference.
