I just found where the lexus owners are, at clublexus. I bought my es300 last sunday with 119k for $6750. I was searching the internet from monday to now for goodies for my car. My eyes are hurting now. I just found this site and just reading the first page I realize that this is to place to be. I plan to do some work on it before I put it on the road. I already order hid kit, radio harness, radio install kit, back up camera, all the manuals at carstereoremoval.com for $12.99. I plan to get the jensen vm9312, and the soundstream digi-q eq. I feel the quality of the door speakers are good so I will use them as midrange. I will replace the 2 front tweeter and add 2 more at the back. I will not be using the single sub in the back. I plan to get all of the speaker wires from the amp behind the cd changer. the spoiler I plan to buy local so I could take it to the store see how it look on the car before I purchase. I also planning on taking it to the store to match up the wood trim for the dash before I buy. I really like the lip body kit that I saw on this site, where can I purchase? I plan to install 215-50-17 tires on zna 427 chrome rims that pepboys sell. I was thinking about going with gunmetal because it matches the bottom color of the car. I know I had a lot to say, but I am just anxious to start working on it. I could see this site is going to be very helpful.

its a 98 the color trim code is 1b2/lf61. the lower cladding looks like gunmetal. I would like to do the rim and the sound system before I put it on the road. I just found out scosche have a dual din radio install kit for the 97-01. I prefer the jensen vm9021ts than the vm9312. the double din vm9021ts looks more factory and its a cleaner install. I got the single din install kit coming in the mail. when that come I will sell it. any idea on spoilers for this car? by the way this is my first v6, I had 2 corolla 81 and 82, 87 rx7, and I still have my 92 prelude
