Is there any cheap mods that i can do to my 99 ES? Im gettin tired of seein a stock car outside. When i say cheap mods i mean cheap becasue im 16 with no job so im talkin sub $100. There prolly isnt much but anything i can do to add a little flare? I might just sell it and get an integra GSR or Prelude like i originally wanted....but i do like the comfort of this car so i dont know yet.

 

if i were you id sell.. because theres no point in having a lexus if your not gonna spend $$$ most of the stuff is really expensive to mod the ES... im only 20 but 16 is really young, start off with an integra, their good cars to mod for cheap... i started off with a civic and modded that to ****s so now i know what NOT to do with my ES.. and the resale of a lex is much higher so your gonna have some extra cash to spend on another car

 

About what RawGin said about having to spend lots of cash, eh... yeah, sorta. Theres a lot you can do with <$100.

Ahem..
homemade intake, $40~$60
Removing the amber filter from your lights(clearing), FREE!
Complete LED light conversion. round $10 or $15
Paint something, a large can of Dupli-color paint costs less than $5.
eBay HID kit, $60


The list is pretty long, just use your imagination.

 

tints are relatively cheap
you could debadge your car
just get a job and start saving kid

don't let anyone get you down. love that car, man.

 

I own a 92 Prelude, modded with body kit and engine to about 210 hp. Definitely more fun to drive than the ES. At your age, you would enjoy the Honda or Acura alot more.

Mods for the Lexus are pretty costly, tasteful mods that is.

 

Complete LED light conversion. round $10 or $15
is that how much it would cost to do the interior?? or how much would it really, i really want the license bulbs does anyone know what that would all run me?
sorry for the hi-jackingg

 

i would say NO to hondas. Your ES is definitely light years ahead.

But if you like that high revving experience in an econobox, then by all means go for the honda

As for cheap mods, well i would just tint the car and call it a day

 

License bulbs aren't too expensive, you can try superbrightleds.com to see how much everything will run you.

 

Clear corners... around $30 on ebay. Or look for that JDM corner light...
Retrofits from other Lexus... like the rearview mirror, swap out your rims for some SC/IS or some other Lexus... wax the car <--I enjoyed it.

 

what led conversion? can u pm me about it

 

Dont put on your 7-color underbody kit. Sell it to spend more money on something that isnt extremely stupid such as those. Sorry to sound rude, but come on. I just dont want to see people laugh at you.

 

Haha i dont think im puttin it on. My mom said she sould give me what i payed for them just to get rid of them because she thinks i will look like a ***(no offense to anyone) driving around with them.

 

yea... it would look ricer! tortoise one thing u can do is port ur intake boxxx i did mine and it sounds great! btw i have two 12inch 7500's

 

lol your mom speaks the truth! Christmas lights + Lexus =

 

haha yep...
