How I Pimped My Ride - Kinda!
Well just got my car last night and have already begun the process. Here is what I've ordered so far.
1. E&G Front Grill (ordered from www.wooddashexperts.com)
2. Rear OEM Spoiler painted (ordered from www.wooddashexperts.com)
3. B&I Dash kits 28 piece and 3 piece kit (ordered from http://www.bitrimdatabase.com/exotic/search1.php?id=FWD)
4. Getting all windows tinted today at about 35%
Am I missing something? The front will now look good, the back will look good, the windows will look good and the interior will look like a Lexus should. I know I am missing something but what???
FYI... you can get the dash kit I mentioned above from wooddashexperts as well but at the time they did not have the 3 piece kit so I ordered it from the other company and paid more.
I am not affiliated with wooddashexperts in any way. They just had everything I wanted at the best price I could find. I also ordered parts from them for my Chrysler 300C.

Do you have a direct link to which grill you picked? Oh, one thing that is missing a new bigger wheels - get it bigger and wider for a better look 
I'm not sure if anybody makes springs for ES350 to drop it, but that would be another good option to have bigger wheels and maybe an 1" drop or so.
But, the real question is: R U out of your mind trading in 911 for ES350?!?
People get ES350 as a comfy daily driver and keep 911 for a fun weekend ride

Added 3rd party pictures until I can post my own. They are at the bottom of the 1st post.
For those asking about the 911 I had to get ride of it before I killed myself. I added about 130HP over stock and 150TQ over stock. It was basically a death machine. I do miss it BIG TIME and am still trying to get over trading it in.

[QUOTE=MD350;3168571]Understood, but to an ES350?? Talk about two totally different cars.[/QUOTE
Had to go with a slow car this time. The car I had before the porsche was a Chrysler 300C with the Hemi. I ended up putting a supercharger on it with the bigger boost kit, exaust, cold air intake, brakes, etc. It had 448HP to the wheel and well over 500HP overall. I figure if I get a slow car this time I will just use it to cruise in and not try to modify it to much. Of course I had to fix the grill, spoiler, dash, and tint the windows. Hopefully that will be all I do to it because once you start it's hard to stop.

Well, welcome to Club Lexus and I hope you enjoy your ES350. But, I can tell you this car is no slouch. It still has some get up and go.

I am really digging that spoiler . . thinking about even ordering it for my fathers car. I am on the fence with that grille though . . I love mesh but it looks a bit too bling for my taste. Could always take a can of spray paint and redo it though

I dunno which car would have best fit your needs, but an ES250 (with the engine from the IS250) prolly would have been weak enough to make you give up and just cruise comfortably.
I find myself pushing the car more than I want cuz there's too much power. Then, I end up making turns at speeds beyond what this car can comfortably handle. This thing is totally like a locomotive or a yacht. Lots of power in a straight line but don't expect to make sharp turns.
