Default Some pics of my ES300

As some of you may know, MN winters are brutal for keeping cars clean -- especially dark colors. My buddy works at a small dealership, and I got 'er ('03 ES300) nice and spiffed up, so I thought I'd share a few pics.











I am sure it will be dirty again tomorrow so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

More pics here if you're interested: http://andrewblock.net/2003-lexus-es300/

Looks really nice. I'm glad you ditched those chrome B pillars.

Thanks. I sort of lucked out on this one. The previous owner was pretty meticulous about the car...although I do pop the hood and wipe down / shine the engine from time to time.

Post some pics of your '96 when you get it spiffed up!

Ha ha, I am glad somebody remembered that. I saw one the other day w/ chrome strips and thought "How gaudy..."

And then I remembered I was actually pondering keeping mine at one point, lol! I am so glad you guys talked me out of it....

I really like how the upto 96 es300 models look. very sleep and sporty. my 97 is sporty too but alot less "sleeker"...i miss those projector headlights..! then the 2003 got more "executive" what do you guys think? Dont get me wrong i like all the shapes in their own way, but over time they seem to have left that "sport-ish" look. well toyota in general seems to have lost its racing/younger streak..

I do like the Gen 2 and 3 years but the newer ones will eventually grow on us i guess. A quality auto i can appreciate. I will try and get some interior pics up soon.
