What size are your wheels? I'm thinking about picking up some 18x10's, as my last set of wheels( 18x9.5) rubbed a lot, but were mighty flush in the rear.
I am actually on 18x9.5 +15 front and 18x9.5 +7 rear. Glad I am inspiring you to bud your ES, start a build thread and update it
Dont worry though, I got bigger plans for this ES eventually I want to fit 13 all around hahaha, and I will be going passed my -7 degree of camber in the rear LOL

Today I will begin retro fitting my fog lights, since I was able to use the 2000 ES's fog, I always wanted projectors on them.

I Will be using the projectors from my original headlight retrofit, it was before I switched over the the morimoto minis

These look mean without the lenses on them! I say black out the reflector and put a nice projector with some hids in it and call it a day.

Sorry no one got mommy & daddy money to just go buy one! So other people like us, that have to watch how we spend money and try to find the best way to make our car/cars look better and still have some money left over for our self. So guess what MOST of the time you got to IMPROVISE! Either you like it or not that's your opinion but don't give a "SMART ***" remarks to other people on what they do to their car/cars. Keep the negativity or "smart ***" remarks to yourself. Just saying.

It looks similar to the JP 3 piece lip spoiler for the gs300.
the window visors are OEM. i found someone selling them on ebay for $200+$75 shipping so I offered $150 plus shipping since it was on ebay for a months..
The seller agreed on $150, and changed the price to $150 + $125 shipping...
when I told him im not paying it, the seller removed the visors from ebay completely.
Back to square one...

I have not updated this page in a while, I said I was done, but I guess I was not LOL.

So Updates:
1.) Bagged: Air Runner Suspension with Airlift Autopilot V2
2.) New Wheels, Specs: 18x11 -59 front 18x11 -65 Rear
3.) Currently the car is in the shop, full custom wide body







Wheel test fit, ignore the fender flares, not using them, full custom wide body in the works.
