short ram intakes are pointless and a waste of money, youll probably get more performance out of the stock airbox

mudguards?!? ewww

That means you're gonna be getting rid of the TRD kit? If so, let me know, I will be interested in purchasing them from you.

the kit will be molded to the stock bumpers, so if i ever opt to get the auto couture kit or something like it, then then i would have to sell the stock bumpers

Wow. Those are really nice bulbs. Post a pic of your ground effects, would you? B)

the car wont look like this soon - new wheels coming and a lot of body mods too

Our friends the Silverstars perhaps? :)

nope, theyre the oem bulbs

if you go with free air, get an IDMAX (image dynamics) 8" and power it with a JL 250/1 amp. that will beat harder than anyone you know, guaranteed.

actually, those are OEM bulbs, hid will come after a few more things are done

took in front of my neighbors house.... looked kinda cool so i took a few pictures, they were staring at me wondering wtf i was doin so i took off after just 2-3 pics. the quality is crappy b/c im hosting off of cardomain - my imagestation account is messing up

valentine one and passport 8500 are the best hands down

bolt assembly? rofl

try getting your wheels rebalanced and get 4 wheel alignment done, a lot cheaper than getting into changing the axles, etc

hmmm... should i kit my car?

lol yea you should

this is the es300 forum...

olympus c-50

i got a new camera and tripod so i went outside in the nasty weather and took a few shots... yea the car hasnt been washed in like 2 months, so its lookin kinda grungy

actually cheap strut bars wont do you much good.. theyre made of many parts - more bolts on the bar itself means less strength of the bar... when you pay $200 for a strut bar, youre getting quality... thickness, light weight metal, stronger metal, some are one-piece.. but these, of course, are not for the average driver... the average driver even with a strut bar probably wouldnt notice the difference

damn.. talk about uptight

alignment?

dude, you dont know? i AM god :P

replace it with an idq8 (image dynamics) since they make free air subs like that pioneer thats in your car

the apexi ws catback is NICE, go for it dude

ok the only reason to put an exhaust on that car is if you buy the TRD supercharger to go with it....other than that...most i've heard (and i'm a tech for lexus so i see quite a few) including the apexi..(sorry hoebag) sound like an extended !Removed! to me...i've heard a V6 camry (same thing as an ES) with the supercharger on it with a tonabi exhaust on it and it sounded pretty good. A real sleeper if from the outside..till you started it...it just hummed...you would have to hear it to appreciate the sound of that supercharger...

no offense taken.. i have it for the show points, and it goes with the flow of the car

yea lextech... youre not a great lexus technician, or maybe just not familiar with the lexus electronics, but yea... the bulbs can be replace.. i think they need to be soldered in though

Definitely just a personal opinion, but I'd strongly advise against it. I think our cars have the potential to sound really nice, and look really pimipin, but unless you are gonna drop it, put massive rims on, and all the other stuff, putting an exhaust on a luxury (old mans) car, would kinda defeat the purpose of forking out all that cash for a car that was made to be quiet...

says you! i go vip style B)

i had the speed sensor changed because a shop broke it and wouldnt take responsibility for it

but yea it was like $350 with installation. good luck.

if you do get one, get a good aftermarket one... apexi, greddy, hks, jic, etc

heres a pic of mine on my 97.. its an apexi rs
