Lexus Champion
let's see... on day two (or day one considering I got her in the evening) I went about removing some airflow restrictions and changing the reflective properties of the intake manifold.

1. Ricey blue step lights that turn on only when you open the door
2. Silverstar Headlight bulbs
3. Footwell lighting/ignition ring light
4. led interior lights
(Free light mods = redding out shifter light hehee + fake led 3rd brake light cover)
1)But since lights don't count as mods
I just put in some pioneer rear speakers. First Mod

My first mod ever was lighting. I was like "a luxury car must have the best lighting look". And so I started with the silverstars. Then I upgraded the fogs to super white. Then I crashed. And then 2 years later, I bought another ES300 and I moved up to clearing the corners. (putting it in the oven and etc.)

ok, a little confused here.. Please dont think that I am having a go at anyone.. But I am having trouble classing what bulbs you put in your headlights as a mod?.. I notice that everyone says that they mod their cars by putting brand-X bulbs in their lights.. The reason I say this, and it is only jokingly. Is that if I take the Philips bulb out of my desk lamp, and replace it with a Panasonic one because it shines a different kind of light. Does that mean that I have modded my desk lamp?.. Something to think about? hehehe

Well, I'm new to the forum, got Lexi (I call her Lexi, original I know) On Saturday, I already have new 7000k low beams, K&N, pulled out that crappy changer, (It weighed like 20 lbs!) And put in a brand new Alpine unit, 2400 Watt amp, and a JL 12W7 MMMMMmmmmm....
It actually sounds really good, I left the stock amp and speakers and they are well compensated with a sub, ('94 Premium system).
What was that about the exhaust manifold and it reflecting? How do you mod that?

Does a Carpc classify as a "mod." that would be the only mod besides my tint.
When I had my bmw 318ti, I modded the hell out of that car with full cat back, fogged intake, 1000 watt system, etc etc. But, with the es300.. I have no desire to mod it for some reason.
