i dont want to offend anyone. im just giving my opinion i think the color and the rims are ugly.... the steering wheel doesnt even match with the wood trim inside.....

I'm not too sure about the color man, it seems to be just a little TOO much, maybe just 20-30% too much blue as opposed to a more silverish blueish. My suggestions:

1. LOWER THE CAR!! maybe get some coilovers and try to go down 2"
2. Get new wheels- inexpensive but nice option: 19" chrome ADR Sterlings
3. Get some Xdrilled rotors, and paint your calipers (black with color matched "L")
4. Remove paint from the B-pillar, that thing is really skinny for a reason, the car is supposed have a
coupe-like window profile, so drawing attention to the pillar is going against the grain
5. Get BLACK interior with blue piping (white with blue will look garish with that exterior color IMO)
6. Get rid of the tri-color wood kit- maybe a custom black wood or aluminum job (take off emblem, and
mis matched steering wheel/carpets while your at it)
7. Get an exhaust, even if its just stainless steel muffler

That would be a good start man, takes more than bright paint, chrome, and a screen to win shows, its all in the detail, but lucky for you, Club Lexus has a "Stunt 101" class!! LOL

Good luck with the ride, and good job daring to be different

making a show car out of an es300 is a tall order. if the color stands out, so does the rest of the car. some mods i can think of to make that car pimp

-mb style signal lights on the side mirrors
-all 4 doors swinging upwards?
-20 subwoofers in the trunk enclosed in molded fiberglass with paint to match the exterior
-custom flares to make it widebody
-louis vuitton interior
-a GS front end?... (ive seen it done on a 4runner). someone did a mb c class front end with a 1st gen.
-an LS430 rear end?
-spinning wheels
-neon lights under the chasis
-retrofitting the lamp housings
-eyebrows
-z3 fender gills

or you could go with the jdm look which i think is easier
-$4000 body kit from japan!
- cant go wrong with volks
- sparco, bride, momo. trd whatever... seats, harness, steering wheel, shift ****, pedals, etc.
- some sort of exhaust
- roof spoiler and wing
- have some interior pieces painted to match exterior
- toyota windom, trd badges
- carbon fiber motorcycle side mirrors (dunno how it would look on a car as big as the ES)
- two or three bottles of NOS to go with those 20 subs in the back

whatever u choose to do man, just to stick to it.

-mb style signal lights on the side mirrors - ewwww
-all 4 doors swinging upwards? - lambo doors went out of style a while ago
-20 subwoofers in the trunk enclosed in molded fiberglass with paint to match the exterior - i guess... but 20? fiberglass with gelcoating is always nice, but it has to be tasteful to look good
-custom flares to make it widebody - flares dont make a car widebody
-louis vuitton interior - dont get me started on this one
-a GS front end?... (ive seen it done on a 4runner). someone did a mb c class front end with a 1st gen. - it would cost A LOT to do since all the fabrication would be custom
-an LS430 rear end? taillights are too large for the rear of the es300
-spinning wheels - 19" spinners? no dice
-neon lights under the chasis - nasty
-retrofitting the lamp housings - would look decent i guess.. with the right projectors or what not
-eyebrows - possibly
-umm... $4000 body kit from japan! - yes

Crushing it asap would be an act of kindness.

cali people know how its done

Come on, guys....let's not forget, even if you don't like some things about it, this guy put a lot of time and money into this paint and customizing job. I mentioned in one post that I think he should get different wheels to help keep the brakes cool. But to talk about the crusher...that's a little extreme. I hope you're just kidding, and the owner doesn't take it as an insult. He's just as much a member of this forum as we are, and entitled to the same respect.

MR LEXUS- you have a good attitude and take constructive criticism well man, alot of guys get all huffy about their car, but you keep a level head

There a lot of JDM kits (by the way JDM is Japanese Domestic Market) however they are very expensive since they must be imported from Japan!

Like i said before, new wheels and a drop would be a great start man, good luck
