Everyone is making their own thread for the transformation of their es300.. so I thought I might as well put everything I've done into one thread as well..

When I first bought the car:


it had an ironman hitch =p


tint/signature "kaldes" decal thrown on:


new wheels on:


intake installed:

 

jic magic coilovers:


dropped:


red calipers:


black emblem/debadged/cat back exhaust:

 

ahaha nice, yea i didnt want to spam the whole es page each time i did a mod, looking good man, just one day i shall get coils

 

lookin good man!

looks hella clean...glad to see the hitch and those huge donk wheels hit the curb!

 

dude both rims are sick, what happened to the old one?

 

clean car . i like how you debadged and painted your emblems

 

I sold the tsw 19's to a friend for cheap so he could resell them. I liked the style but they were too big.
Thanks guys=]

I need some honest opinions on this.. just got my tails tinted. Honest opinions please =] i don't mind the truth.. I still haven't decided what i think of them myself.

 

Alright.. the tint on the tails looks a lot lighter in real life. The pic kinda make the tails looked smoked here/

 

i like . any car or truck with tinted windows looks ok with tinted taillights because they kinda match with the windows. but thats my opinion

 

Not bad, assuming you get smoked corners AND...

1.Either smoke the headlights, or at least take them apart and paint the inners black.
2. I would say tinted fogs, but the 00-01 fogs are 'blacked out' and would look fine.

 

By smoked headlight corners do you mean tint? I was thinking of buying clear corners and then tinting that way the ugly markers aren't sitting underneath the tint.. and then getting the fogs done the same way the tails were.. a darker tint than the headlights. Has anyone ever painted the inside of the headlights of a 3rd gen??

 

Tinted tails look great. I like the contrasting look with the white paint.

 

i work at a car services place and on our cadi esclade we got painted headlights and tail lights. way more tedious job but way better look. its painted with black car paint sanded down so its smooth and repeated about 3 times and u get an amazing look.

 

dont paint the insides of your headlights, i did a while ago and the light output was next to nothing. ended up buying new ones and having the lens sprayed. with HID's theres no difference

 

i was talking outside and yes anytime u do anything with headlights ur gona get less light output. unless u have HIDs u should be fine haha
