Cool
I love the new paint! I' still a two tone guy though

Meguire's DACP for swirls.

Vanilla Moose - glaze
Carnauba Moose - wax topper (Or P21S/S100, but I like CM better)

No combo as good on Black as that!

yes.. u can make the "no wheel gap" look.... with coilover....

JIC magic does make coilover for 97 + camry and solara.... which perfect fit on the ES..
or if u want lower drop then u are rite now... u can get some Tein SS (Hoebag is using it) , or Solara Eibach springs(F-1.6, R-1.6")

I think those wheels would suffice if they had some detail to the center, it's bare there where i am used to seeing center stickers or caps. Go get some of the silver emblems from a set of sc wheels or something and stick them on.

Car looks great!
