H8R Proof

;) :D Promise!

:( Would anyone really notice these except me?!

What is that, exactly?

Couldn't resist them @ Walmart. Anyone tried them? "Use anytime for a high polish shine" I did pick up the California Water blade and finally found that darn white grease - thanks guys :)

I couldn't agree more ;)

True...

Hmmm...such as?? Could you elaborate on this? I'm not sure what clear corners are...

Yes :) I actually came across some Lexus ones believe it or not. I think I might have to snatch those up! Anyone else ever heard of these/have these? Yes I do have chrome rims which I love. The contrast against the black exterior is great :) Honestly, I'd love to enter my car in a show one day. But it seems like most cars @ shows are very tricked out - mine would likely pale in comparison...

I'm definitely interested in fixing my car up. However, I don't want it too "tricked out"... Suggestions anyone? (98 ES) Also, are valve stem caps tacky? (As in covers)

I have hooks in the floor of my 98 and the mats I just bought are OEM and they have hooks :)

Yup and I'm not putting on my front plates/frame until I get pulled over either

Have had workers here all day doing some house repairs and couldn't make it to the car wash before they closed. Do I dare run the car through the 24 hour place or would that just be asking for trouble? Car was clean, but now has mud spots on it from aforementioned workers <_<

Never hesitate to ask questions! All people can say is "no" !! There was an Ebay auction for a set of new OEM black Lexus mats (front, back + trunk) and I talked the seller into ending their auction early for me and they did. We negotiated via e-mail and I won the set for $25.00 !!!! (+ shipping of course) and I don't even need the trunk mat. Can't believe it. That's the sweetest deal yet. That seller must not have known he could have gotten 3-4 times as much...I've never had Lexus mats before so I'm thrilled. YIPPEEEEE!! :magic:

You're bad Sk....

Alan - very nice. I agree, it looks very well done. Personally, I don't favor them. That's just me.

Before the ink is barely dry on the contracts for the cars I've purchased, I take those dealers plate frames OFF. I'm not about to provide the dealer with years of free advertising. No way! I know thousands of people do, maybe to them it's "just a frame", but I refuse to do it. Just my .02 :whistles:

Both back AND front are now required here in CA...used to be only the back plate was sufficient. <_< My 98 did not come with mounts for the front plate either and I have to get this taken care of soon. Cowboyzfan: I'm sure any body shop could do the mounting job fairly easily. FLiP Sp33d: That's a real bummer. Frames are cool! :)

Does this mean overfilling your tank?

Thank you SK ;) good description there! Can I get this at Pep Boys? They're around $20 right?

What details differentiate the Coach Edition ES from the standard ES? Also, is the Coach Edition only available with the ES300?

Yeah...I guess I didn't realize I wasn't the only one! Thanks all!

I've been reading for hours...thanks very much! :)

Excellent - thanks Joe! :)

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've finally talked my best friend into buying a Lexus!!! :D She's loved BMW for years but is ready to make a change after hearing all the great feedback from Lexus drivers, me in particular! (And she's disgusted with the high price of BMW maintenance) I do have the JD Powers 7/03 Consumer Report but was wondering if anyone else can refer me to other articles. Thanks so much! :)

Enlighten me guys :) What is this thing? Is it like a Squegee?
