This was one of the first DIY mods I did.. made a REAL cold air intake that actually went down into the bumper..
Another one I did was "de-lining" the headlights.
Next project is swapping the TT Supra gauge cluster into mine so I can have a 10K TRD tach!

My first mods as soon as I bought my ES:
-Cleared the corners with reflective monochromatic reflective stickers to make 'em street legal
-Red-out tails
-DIY intake
-Blue ricer bulbs
-Blue ricer signals
-5% tint all the way around
All this in about 12 hours

I see you got the 1st-gen stock ES wheels on your '99. I guess you like the look of it better than the '99 stockies, right?

I've never given it much thought at all until now.Another possibility is that THESE are the actual stockies, and all the other 99 ES300's have upgraded wheels. After all, the rest of the car is completely stock. No sunroof, no leather (and nope, i don't mind the cloth
, I actually prefer it to leather).EDIT: are these the stock wheels?
I really don't mind that much, both of these wheelstyles look fine to me, I'm not too picky about my car

bluepiz, the base ES here in Australia (your model) came with cloth and hubcaps I remember looking at a fine ES (leather, all options) then the turbo rush got hold of me
First DIY mods:
- Changed the headlight bulbs when the stockies blew, then changed the parkers to suit lol
- Removed the sunroof visor thing (UGLY!)
- Installed my CD player
- BFI mod on my intake
