Not really a fan on the ES, but maybe if you tinted it and then got the black leather interior, wheels maybe it will be some better.

Looks pretty good, the quality seems to be top notch. And for $900, that is very cheap.

I think with a mean wheel setup (something with a flat finish with maybe a polished lip), window tints and taillight tints it will look more complete. But doing something this radical and leaving it with factory wheels is just wrong. Looks so incomplete.

Im considering wrapping my ES with matte pearl white vinyl, it would be nice if you do decide to re-do it and post some pictures up!!

I agree that by just wrapping the car in a matte finish will not enhance the appearance of the car however it will sure work if you go VIP-style

Tinted windows - Coilovers - 20" VIP rims - and some Camber work.

Honestly, we have seen VIP styled IS, GS, SC, LS models but why not the ES model? It is luxury and an affordable sedan for many but not a lot of ppl will do the VIP set-up and not that I know of.

I wish that a ES driver will VIP style his/her car and feature it in Canibeat.com.

I myself have been waiting for someone to do a sick VIP set up on an ES350 too.

If only the rear camber were adjustable on coils. From what I know, every Camry coil has no rear camber adjustment. Of course, you can lower the heck out of it to get camber but that is the hard way. SickES350 is the closest VIP ES350 I've seen so far

I really want to do this on my M3. Anyone knows where I can get this quality job for 900$ in bay area?

I think it looks pretty badass.

Option 1-Use electrical tape for $900 total
Option 2-Get only the front bumper done for $900
Option 3-Plasti-dip the entire car for $9 and save $891 dollars

Not feeling the matte look at all. On an ES its like a crime. I still havent been able to wrap my head around this matte trend. Makes the car look like it had a ton of shotty body work. When I think of this stuff I think of people like my mom or brother who are not car people. They would look at the car and think it had been totaled and is a salvaged car. Matte works for race cars and thats about it in my book
