New ES350 Owner Here ^_^
Hey everyone, I'm John. And as you can see by the title, I just traded in my truck for a 2009 White ES350 w/30K miles. I did not plan to trade the truck in, but after an accident, I decided to do it. Here's a quick rundown of my previous DD.
2005 Toyota Tundra DoubleCab
Modifications:
Pics:
Now, I plan on doing quite a bit to the ES350. But I like to research ideas and see what I like before I just do it. So without further delay, here's the new ride already tinted with 20% on the windshield and 5% all around.
Plans:
So any and all suggestions or comments are welcome! I'm loving this car so far! I'm just not used to being so low to the ground. The MPG's are making it easier for me to make the move though. The truck got 10MPG.

The Debaged rear makes that look really nice if i may make a sugjestion also the Lexus Rear trunk and front grill emblem
have it painted to match the car
the dealer near me that does allot of real hot custom work quoted me 140 for new emblems painted to match
and i think that that would look really awesome on the ES of yours
P.S that Mark VIII in the garage is that a 97 or 98 ? love it they are one of my long time favorites i had a 3 a 98 spring edition and two 98 Collector Editions i think they where the best cars i ever had

Look at any sub besides Kicker. What's your goal? SPL? SQ? Combination? There are a dozen companies that make better subs for less and if there are any problems, you can usually talk to the owner. I run PSI recones in mine. http://psicaraudio.com/ David can build you a sub that fits your needs. I've been to his shop and seen his work.
