You should have probably went with different springs first of all. If you buy a 1inch kit you will get a 1inch drop. oh and did you replace your struts too? As far as getting a body kit you would have to get something custom made. Good luck with your project.

Actually there's plenty of body kits for a 98 ES 300, but they all come from Japan. Search the forums for "body kit" or check out the sticky in the ES forum.

i also got the same problem too....
cuz i just purchase a set of KG/MM springs with KYBGR2 struts..for my 97 ES...

from the spec.. it said it shold lower by about 1.6/1.4 but i did not see it drop that much...

since i chage struts and springs at the same time... would it take more time to settle..? to get 1.6/1.4 drop...?

DVD player--should be easy to find, Alpine makes some nice ones
Eyebrows, I've seen plenty on the 92-96, 97-01 should be available, the Japanese places with Windom kits should have them
CF hood--that might be tough to find for an ES/Windom, it's not a drag racing vehicle, so there's a limited market for people who want to spend a lot of money to save a little weight.

I believe there is a very nice AutoCouture kit for the 97 to 01 ES's. Search for it, you should be able to find some info.
