Default Hey guys.. What do you think.. Could it work?

Hey guys.. Thanks to The Hitman, I have been given an idea as to what I want to do with my Windom.. I probably might have a smaller wheel than in the pic, but thats what I am looking at going with.. Also, I wanted to see the same kit that HoeBag has on his on a 96... I understand that the side and back will fit, but would have to do alot of work done for the front....I am looking to start the mods in the next few months.. Let me know what you think? Yay, or Nay?

It looks good if you can pull through.

You're just going to have to find the TRD Camry kit.... And the front probably won't work, since sk has already tried... I think it was because the way the front is curved?

Yeah Juan.. If I do go with it.. Im not sure how I will do the front.. Also, I saw a Windom the other day, that had taken the badge off of the actual hood, and filled the holes.. He had cut out the size of the emblem in the front of his grille, and placed the emblem in the grille itself.. I thought it looked great!

The pic you got made me realize that the TRD kit may be the cheapest way to get something that looks good with our car...

So I am once again in the market for it... it will run me about $500 dollars though + the bodywork and paint... which will add up once again. I should have waited to paint my car after I got the kit.

I thought you were gonna go with the TRD kit all along?.. What do you plan for the front? .. I like the little lip that sits at the sides of the front as shown in that pic, but how to do it is the real question...

There were so many things that I wanted to do w/kits... Camry, Accord, 97ES+, etc.. But the insurance money wasn't enough for one. So I just went ahead and painted the car.

But now I'm starting to realize that the $500 kit is a steal for skirts/rear... And imo, it doesn't look bad, looks simple...and the price for it is practical. As for the front pieces, I am not sure... But I know I'm gonna order the kit this week. It'll probably get installed by the end of the year though. lmao

Hoebag, when will it be available? Did you do any cutting/extending of your sideskirts?

There's been a lot of talk about the bodykit, so I'll talk about the wheels.

I like the look of those wheels, I think they work well with the ES bodylines.

What kind are they?

I will have to have a look in my VIP mags when I get home for name of the wheel.. There is a chrome set here in Japan that I am looking at that are the exact same wheel. But when facing in the right direction to the light, they have a small tinge of platinum blue.. I like these, and think they would look great on my silver Windom...

No offense but the wheels look like old school "hammer" rims....the ones that came out right after "5 stars"
back in the late 80's early 90's
maybe I'm revealin my age with that line but those over 27 will understand what I'm talkin about.....LOL

And what ever you please dont be one of these .."I know I have a 92-96 ES300 but I just gotta have 19's or 20's even though they make my car look like a monster truck"..guys

but i do like the kit...if it can happen 4 u.
