Thumbs up

Clean clean clean! Does the Strada come with NAV and backup camera, etc.? I know nothing about the Strada...

I can't wait 2 weeks for pics of the ES350 wheels on your car! That's cruel to tease us for 2 weeks!

looks good. lol at the the wheel pic. it reminds me of a ***** on a pedastool(sp?). lol. sorry. but the wheels are sexy wheels. i have been contemplating the idea of some oe lexus wheels so that i dont have to worry so much about my setup and to get a little lower. but those es look sexy.

post pics when done

yeaa the stradaa comes with 30 gig hard drive based navigation but the back up camera and all that stuff was extra so i didnt bother hooking those up... and unfortunatley for the rims even once they come i cant put them on because up here its still snowing! soo im gonna have to wait until atleast end of march beginning of april to throw those bad boys on and not to mention i need to save up again for the pirellis or toyos im gonna put on... DAMN WINTER

carputer is definitely very powerful but beware of the reliability issues.

It is a computer, so a million things can go wrong...just so you know

I bet if you get your windows tinted the glare on the TV will go way down, even in the hight of the afternoon.

hey defiantly looks good, great to see another es in the Toronto area is doin it up... how do you like the strada can you change the start up screen on them? im actually thinking about picking up a avic-d3/z2 at the auto show depending on prices,
also love the rims i was thinking of getting some off the newer sc430's where did u order those or are they local? i checked ebay but shipping to anywhere close to the GTA is insane, but yeah it looks great keep it up brotha

Question

Did you get the ES350 wheels from LA Wheel and Tire?
If not from where and how much? They're classy! (I don't understand the recent rebellion against chrome...it's almost like a religious thing )

in the northeast chrome gets eaten up during the winter. I'm lazy and don't want to be changing my wheels.
