Hi guys.. In Japan here. We have a monthly magazine called VIP Style.. Anyways, its basically a mag that features Luxury vehicles that have been customed and what have you..

Anyways, I see so many vehicles that have been customed and modified, that there must be somewhere that we are able to get mods for our cars..

My thinking is this.. Surely Toyota (Lexus) wouldnt go to the trouble of designing and building all of these cars, and then create one (Windom ES300) and then have it so technically different from the rest of its fleet that nothing could be interchangable on it? Now I understand that some camry parts fit and match the Es, but surely other parts from other vehicles must be suited? ie: tail lights, spoilers etc....

Anyways. Give me your thoughts!

Chris

But then again, it had a previous life!

Chris

Mine is a 2.5 litre...

smiles :D

Chris

Hey SK,

Was just looking at your machine again.. I am wondering how you get your front lights looking so sparkely white and clean.. how did you do it, and what chems did you use?

And another thing.. why no badges?

Chris

How do you get in a motorbike bbsal?

Anyways Blake.. Nice car.. You picked the best color! "Silver" Or is it Biege??

Chris

Before you say anything.. I forgot the 3rd question? Again.. old age!

Chris

Had a brain wave!.. Was looking at my wifes car today, and noticed how boring it is.. I am thinking of putting some new rims on it for her for her birthday in a few months, and then I thought about a custom job, Lexus Starlet X... Rebadged and all.. But, I wanted to poll you guys and ask 3 questions?

Q1: Would it be breaking the code to customise a Starlet as a Lex?

Q2: Because customing into a Lex, would have to have a Number, not a name.. ie: ES IS LS.. What would be good for a little Starlet? As it is already an X. I was thinking SX 200 ??

Chris

Here you go Sk.. I have just taken a pic of the badges.. In all..

2 Front and back Toyota Emblems..

1 Windom Emblem..

1 Lexter Emblem..

1 2.5 Emblem..

4 Centre wheel emblems..

Chris

Will be first to look at them!

Chris

And last one.. Just a clearer one of my back badges..

Chris

Hope you guys like....

I dont know why.. But in silver, I love my front end.. At the lower corners of the front spoiler.. I am going to cut out the 2 line air vents that you see on the left and right, and replace them with large corner spot lights.. I love cars that look bulkey...This is my favourite pic!...

As for my stereo. Its just a simple Sony CD MD player with suround Caz speakers..

The instrument panel turned out so so.. I cut a little large under the stereo, so added a section.. Other than that, its fine..

Here we go Steve.. A few closer inside shots for ya..

Chris

I Just found a sheet of wood film, and measured and cut it all out myself.. I will take a beeter pic during the day for you to see.. I also put a wood piece running across my glove box..

Chris

As far as I know. It is like the Lexus Coach edition.. Just Toyota's version for that year 96.. Also, the only cars that I have seen, and I have only seen one other was the same year and model.. And only in Silver like mine.. If you want to trade, I would be happy to do so... In the Windom, there are a million that have 2.5X, or 3.0G or whatever.. The Lexter is hard to find.. Dont ask me why, just never see them? Just might make a nice collectors item for someone I thought?

Chris

Last one..

Back Badges..

Ok, already posted some pics.. but someone asked about the new badges on the back.. So here is a pic of the front again.. One of the back.. Also included is my interior.. With my custom made(by me) Steering wheel Lexus emblem...

Chris

Thanks Steve.. Got the pic in just fine.. Thanks for the advice!

Chris

Now that I have rebadged. I am the one that drives something a little different here in Japan.. Not alot of ES300's. as Toyota is No 1 here... Anyways, I now have my set of Toyota Windom Lexter badges to let go.. If you want something that is a little different from everyone else. They are badges for the Limited Edition Lexter..

Am happy to let them go at a reasonable price.

Chris

If you are interested MCV 20, I am looking to sell them.. At a reasonable price of course!... But seriously, if interested, I am happy to let them go...

Chris

Also means I have to start at the bottom as a normal club member?

Chris

Ok.. How do you get your pictures up in your profiles on the left there like that?

Chris

W-W-W Whaaa My Jimmy Stewart impersination..
