bluepiz, I like your mod

I see you got the 1st-gen stock ES wheels on your '99. I guess you like the look of it better than the '99 stockies, right?

 

Installed my L-Tuned Grille and messed around with the safety latch

-Anthony

 

L-Tuned ECU. This was way back when LexusRules still had the pics on his site.

 

clear side marker and chrome grill (same day)

 

This was one of the first DIY mods I did.. made a REAL cold air intake that actually went down into the bumper..


Another one I did was "de-lining" the headlights.


Next project is swapping the TT Supra gauge cluster into mine so I can have a 10K TRD tach!

 

the first is actually a very ugly "silver inner taillight" mod. Not too good looking so I removed it.

The first official good DIY mod is the red signal taillights.

 

Installed TRD strut bar and SRT intake.

 

My first mods as soon as I bought my ES:

-Cleared the corners with reflective monochromatic reflective stickers to make 'em street legal
-Red-out tails
-DIY intake
-Blue ricer bulbs
-Blue ricer signals
-5% tint all the way around

All this in about 12 hours

 

My first DIY mod was when I unbolted my muffler, advanced the timing, and opened the airbox of my integra GSR back in 1995

 

Tan that far back to 1995 !

Mine was in 1970 I bought some Crager SS wheels and Mickey Thomson 12' wide tires and air shocks!!!!! Talk about old old old school !

 

Bought the car used in April of '03 with 44k miles, and those wheels were already on it... just curious, what do the stock wheels on a 99 ES look like? I've never given it much thought at all until now.

Another possibility is that THESE are the actual stockies, and all the other 99 ES300's have upgraded wheels. After all, the rest of the car is completely stock. No sunroof, no leather (and nope, i don't mind the cloth , I actually prefer it to leather).

EDIT: are these the stock wheels?


I really don't mind that much, both of these wheelstyles look fine to me, I'm not too picky about my car

 

bluepiz, the base ES here in Australia (your model) came with cloth and hubcaps I remember looking at a fine ES (leather, all options) then the turbo rush got hold of me

First DIY mods:
- Changed the headlight bulbs when the stockies blew, then changed the parkers to suit lol
- Removed the sunroof visor thing (UGLY!)
- Installed my CD player
- BFI mod on my intake

 

wow, i was -8 years old and you were already modding your car!

 

Ditto, I wonder if my parents were even DATING in 1970

 

Do I see a peanut sponge left on the SIDEWALK!?!
