Looks good! One of the nicer looking spoilers for the ES, I must say. I never liked the 97-02 rear wing spoilers on the ES. It never quite fitted the look. This one is much more subtle and elegant.

@ 07ES350: THANK YOU!!!!!! Really appreciate you posting these pictures. Honestly, and this is just my personal opinion, I'm not too crazy about it. The picture on the Lexus accessories page had it on a black car (actually looked like a CAD drawing rather than a real picture). There it looked OK, but on a silver car (and I'm looking from a point that I'm getting Moon Shell Mica), it doesn't look too intergrated with a whole car shape. GS little spoiler which I previously posted by mistake looked like an extention of the trunk. This one looks like it was slapped on from another car or something. I probably will have to take a closer look on the actual car, if I ever gonna see one here on East Coast LOL!!! Or maybe just wait 6 month or so until different spoiler will come out, maybe even with a ground kit?

Again, this is just my humble opinion, so please don't take it as a criticism

Looks nice. Not sure about your wheel choice in my honest opinion.

Yeah, I'm really wasn't to keen on the wheels either, but it's the wife's car and that's what she liked. Plus we didn't pay for them. They were pretty much free. I told the dealer I wanted the original 10 spoke wheels that came with the package and they couldn't produce them so I told them either give the wheels to me at no extra cost or throw in the extended warranty. Needless to say we got the warranty. So, I'm okay with the wheels, I just wish they were a big larger. Those are 17's Maybe 19's or 20's would have looked better. I found out they are DUB wheels too.

@ 07ES350: Do you know how much more would of been the extended warranty? I guess that would take you from 4yr/50k to 6yr/100k?

BTW, those wheels that you got are UL option, they don't come with Premium package. And, thanks to your pictures, I actually felt in love with a Tungsten Pearl color. Just called my dealership and changed Moon Shell Mica to this Silver color. They told me its one of the most requested colors right now, so I will have to wait 3 weeks to get mine...

No, I'm in Central Jersey down by the shore. I got mine from Ray Catena in Eatontown. I think the car is going to be build soon (if not already?), but I already got a VIN number. Also, by placing an order today (well, actually re-ordering with a different color), they told me my car going to be on a boat from Japan on July 11th, and should get here between 15th and 20th. This is like taking a candy away from a baby. After test driving the car and getting my mind all set, now I have to cool down and wait another 3 weeks. I should probably go and take a cold shower LOL!!!

When did you order yours? How long did they tell you its going to take?

BTW, my salesperson also told that Lexus factory implemented a brand new transmission screening to weed out any with a potential problem like others experienced last month on the West Coast. So, maybe its a good thing they are taking their time and checking everything...

Should be getting mine soon. My guy didnt have any on the lot or incoming in Tungsten so I think he is going to swap with another dealer. My '03 IS is due back July 11 so I need to have this done in the next two weeks.

It's funny because for the last 6 months I have been trolling the IS board and fell in love with that car... until I drove it! The thing is a pig acceleration wise and you feel like you are 7'5" when you are driving it, the design is just very awkward. I was blown away when I drove the ES so when the numbers came in below the IS it was a no-brainer for me.

I checked the price list on the extended warranty and they wanted over $2k for the 6yr/100k

I kind of agree that its hard to make a judgement from a picture, you have to see it in person from a different angle and under the daylight. God knows, I *almost* made a mistake with MSM color LOL!!! But based on these pictures, it just doesn't look right especially with a light color. I think it could work with a dark (black or blue onyx) colors, but this is no go. Also, keep in mind, you can always add a spoiler later. But, if you going to order one with a car right now - you will not be able to take it off because its drilled to the trunk
