That would be my dads 1999 ES300 with just under 90,000 miles. got it for $4000 with a few issues, they've all been repaired by us so far. drives like a dream, im jealous of his heated seats though lol.

haha yeah i retroed both, mine took me like 10 hours or so and the gold one took me about 4 hours. i had a really good initial line up. the learning curve on retrofitting projectors in is pretty awesome. Happy chinese new year to you too, have fun!

thank you! haha yeah, driving both of them though you can feel the higher mileage is more forgiving over bumps as if the frame not as stiff.

Nice! Love the black ES.

I'm liking that lip you have on your ES too. What did you use for that? And what did you use to attach it?

thanks, its cove base. the tall side trimmed under the car. and i used those self tapping screws that contractors use to assemble aluminum wall framing, they're really short black screws with a sort of drill bit at the end.

Those are 97-99 Es300s right? Those look really nice BTW. Maybe you should get platinum series wheels. Those look nice on my dad's 2000 ES300
