Nice, I'm just doing normal maintenance as we speak since the engine, tranny rebuild, and new exedy clutch back in Jan 2011. I'm collecting some new parts for my car to spice up the engine bay and more upgrades and will make a thread soon. I came across a discontinued new in box AEM CAI for the 94-96 Camry V6 a week ago for $80 shipped off ebay. I'm gonna take measurements to cut the piping since its meant for the 1MZ engine not the 3VZ engine but I'll make it work, but what a steal and great find!!

Haha, I hope this spells good fortune for my car and will keep it out of trouble for years to come 
Just an update for 01LEXPL. After that high pressure car wash, I checked the trunk and there was no water. I also don't remember the last time I saw water in the trunk, so maybe the new gaskets solved the problem.

Got sick of looking at the paint marks left over from an accident that the last owner had. Broke out my trusty Flex DA Polisher and used some Poorboy's SSR2.5 with an Orange Pad, followed by SSR1 on a White Pad. Then sprayed some liquid wax to seal it up.

^^ Very nice MrBooby! I should do that to some side marks on my 2ES...
In the last two days I've done a few things:
*Fixed the hinge for the gas cap/cover
*Removed the orange reflector in the headlights
*Cleaned projectors in the headlights
Before
After
With Reflector
Left = Cleaned, Right = Foggy, Rear = Trolling Friend
No reflector w/cleaned projectors
Both done (yes I need to clean my car ahahah... just got back from L.A., those dang bugs...)
Headlights are so much sharper and brighter on the road!
High Beams
Next step is to clear the orange in the taillights! (tomorrow)

Finished around 1am. Here is the result!
Before: (don't let the trunk being open merp you out, when its closed it is flush ahaha)
After:

I've thought about the black pearl emblems, maybe I'll do that after I get new wheels. (the wheels have the Gold L on them...)

I want to do that, but I guess the Lexus and ES300 badges aren't just secured by adhesive tape... there are holes in the trunk body for the emblems to secure into. LAME.
So I have to do body work to fill the holes once the badges are off. :/
Yea. PICS NAOW.
