Welcome to the ClubLexus forums! So many great members here.

That ES300 looks real nice and with just under 100k miles.. You'll be enjoying that vehicle for a long time I hope. She looks very clean also with no apparent body damage so it will be a great one to upgrade.

What mods did you have in mind for it so far? Tint the windows and remove that little bumper sticker maybe?

Tint is my next thing to do on mine. Dont go with the cheap tint, I got mine done for $100 last year and its all faded out now,waste of money.

Theres a place in Dallas and in Plano, "Altamere", they are pricey but do lifetime warranty and tint is laser cut by machine, tint is guaranteed not to fade.

well my dad was there . i was @ work. they were very busy too, so thats good. but call ahead to make appointment. They were nice ppl (according to my father). they talked about what kind of tint u want, price, %UV block, the look. i think our price came to $100 with all windows tinted. life-time warranty too. He did on our Volvo car :

Yup, that's the next move for me also. But here in GA the lowest quote I got for tint with Lifetime Warranty is $165. The time to complete work ranged from 1 hour to 4 hours. But I'll still hold. Looking forward to more of your photos as the work progresses--and welcome to the forums.
