Oh my god, man. That car is beautiful. Talk about VIP, lol.

Also, did you switch from 00/01 tails back to 97-99?

I just have to say good sir WOW..... I'm glad to see you're still keeping at it, even after the road blocks you've ran into. It's been a while since I've been on here to go through posts. You're making me want to source out another es and start a build all over again. Just to think no one thought it was possible to fit wide wheels and now look at it. Keep up the work bud. Oh and I can't believe you're actually doing the wide body. Is it going to be fiber glass or hand shaped metal? Also what's your bag set up I remember right before my es was totaled I test fitted bellows but couldn't really fit them in the front only the rear.

Lots of love and work put into this project. I really appreciate your creative approach to all the mods you tried on this car.

Thnak you, keeping it two-tone was one of the top priority.

Thank you, I actually retrofitted them myself, they are using Morimoto Mini H1 Projectors from RetrofitSource. There are a lot of DIY write up on here regarding retrofitting projectors into the ES.

This is an incredible build. I’ve never seen a wide body ES before but yours looks great!
