Hi guys, Im about to install a pioneer AVIC-D1 in my 98 Es. I would like some advice and information with this. For 1, where can I get a dash kit and wiring harness from. Also do they make a wood trim piece that could go over the kit to make it fully wood again. Or is there another way of doing it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

ok, I had a clifford remote starter put in with the 555X but the box isn't taking the code from the chip in they key. If anyome knows anything about remote starters or had this problem beofre please help me. Thanks.

B) For everyone that owns a 1997-2001 ES300 (1MZ-FE), just curious as to the fuel mileage that you are currently getting from your car.  I am extremely pleased with my 25-27 mpg that mine is providing.  It still has the original spark plugs with 120,000+ miles.  B)

My normal Milage in my 98 is 24 to 25.1mpg (85% back roads at 45 MPH rest is in city). The WEIRD part is that after the Timing belt (along with seals and water pump) was done, I seem to be getting another .5 to 1.0 MPG more.

Just filled up yesterday at $2.18 for super duper, and got 184 miles with 7.363 gallons; which is about 24.92 MPG. Plus had AC on all week.

Highway is anwhere from 28 to 30 mpg.

Wow, 2.18 on super is amazing. I get about 24 - 25mpg on my 98 ES, thats without changing anything. Mostly drive highway.

Wow man those are fire, and you must have paid a good price cuz I know lowenharts are very expensive!

Congrats!!!!!

I would say go to www.newlexusparts.com to see how much a headlamp would cost from there.

Hid is the system, Xenon is the gass used in the system.

The control box is a must for your car and it does cost a lot but you shouldn't need a new leveling system it most likely wasnt dammaged in the accident. Also you can interchange head lamp housing. The non-hid headlanp comes with a 55w bulb and the Hid one comes with a 35w hid bulb(they go in the same spot corresponding to each lamp). The non-hid lamp doesn't come with a control box and harnessess for it. So its up to you if you want to do that. If your control box is fine and your bulb is fine then you can because the control box can be taken off.

So it's up to you. You would save around 200-300.

Good luck!

It is an illuminated laminated sticker .

It is like those elomunescent gauges for many cars.

It lights up a blueish colour with a cut black front over it ,it will show what ever you want them to.

I don't get what you mean. Can u please explain it for me, I'm a new to this.

Hi guys, I want to have the word "lexus" cut into my cars door handles and have an LED behind it to glow when the alarm is hit. So far I went to a custom guy and he said the hardest thing would be getting the word lexus cut through on the handles. He said the plexy glass under the handle and led's would be easy. I want to know if anyone know where i could get the door handles cut with the word "lexus" in it. Or should i used a different handle to cut threw. Thanks a lot for any feedback.

Quick question, can the 00-01 ES300 fog lights go on a 98 ES300? ALso what do oyu guys think of the Auto-Couture front bumper?

Fist Car Ever Pruchased its a 98 ES300

Just had to get new brakes rotors and rear struts for the car and thats it so far all dealer parts, had my fried put them in paid 750 is that good?

battery was replaced a year before i got the car.

the lady i purchased this car from only went to the lexus dealer to change brakes and other minor things

Future mods for this spring are:

3. 00-01 Taillights

4. Chrome A pillars

6. Custom Eyelids

7. New Alarm with remote starter (the works)

8. Might put on the auto-couture kit on it depends if i get this new job

Also, if you happen to pass by NYC, i can tell you, there are tons of junkyards there too.  I don' t know if it's in this forum or the LS forum, but I mentioned if you go to FLUSHING QUEENS they have a lot by Shea Stadium.  You will most likely find what your looking for there.

Also if you go to Yahoo Yellowpages... look for the automotive repair shops, if you type in "11358" thats my zip code... you should find a lot of junk yards or repair shops popping up.  There are a lot of customizing shops there in NYC too.  So you can probably find someone that will sell something your looking for n perhaps modd  it for you.

Let me know how thigns work out.

Hi Kcpth, I live in the New York Area and my family lives in Flushing I wanted to know if you can help me find Lexus Es300 00 - 01 tail lights for my 98.

P.S: Just joined this forum and it is amazing! I thought no one out there had mods or ideas for an ES300.
