New ES350 Owner
Just bought my first Lexus.
2008 ES350 34K miles.
I love this car but I would really like to do something to make it "mine", if you know what I mean.
Other than wheels and an Audio upgrade, any reccomendations?

I bought my first Lexus (07 UL) a year ago and it looks almost exactly like yours, same color, window tint, etc. I also wanted to personalize it a bit as well and here's what I did.
-Replace front grill with chrome mesh grill
-Added back Lexus spoiler
-Added front and rear chrome turn signal edging
I think it came out pretty nice and makes it pop a little compared to the others. Not too overdone either though. It makes it easier to find mine in a crowd as well.
Another choice that looks really sharp is the anti chrome approach. Get everything black powder coated and tint the head and tail lights. Gives it a nice dark, sleek look.

Nice.....
Yeah, I have spent a great deal of mental energy this weekend trying to determine what I could do to my new car to make it more "mine", but after a few trips here an there, it began to feel like this car was designed and made just for me... And at night, the interior lighting is just sexy. I put my Garmin in this evening, then looked at it for 5 minutes, and took it back out and put it on the shelf in the garage. It just didnt belong.

Here is the grill I bought, made by E&G Classics. It takes a little customization to install it as it uses the existing Chrome edge panel. I bought the spoiler on ebay. It's the Lexus OEM that was pre-painted with Smoky Granite Mica.
