MRLEXUS looking at these pics gave me a few ideas. First off, maybe u can find a happy medium between aero and other mods, here's my proposal

00 spec front bumper, head/fog/tail lights, rear bumper (if that's different)
Custom mild sideskirt (since ur dad has a shop, maybe take a mold of the stock skirt and make it lower), just low enough so that it keeps the character line of the bumper going
HID head and fog lamps
Custom Airbag suspension- a member with a GS just did this with great results, this will help at shows since u could SLAM it
19" chrome 5 spoke wheels with a lip- nothing drastic maybe 1.5-2" lip
Black out the B pillar-trust me the car will look more sleek with that not being body colored

Lemmeknow what u think
ok i want know a place that sells a 01 front bumper
with the sideskirts NO lol
ya i going to get some hid lights like el gato his are sweet......
airbags on my car OH HELLLLL NOOOOOOOOO LOL LOL
it would look to getto for me and i'm black lol
ya 19's are fine but their and new 20 inch rims for fwd cars (i think tires also)
i don't understand the Black out please explain

air bags arent getto... they are a vital part of VIP tuning. Just look at JunctionGS's GS400 or Din's sc300... they show what a classy car with bags will look like.

edit- and btw- DGOT20s is also black

Yeah, I dont think air bags are ghetto. JunctionGS recently went to air bags and the results are awesome.

Mr Lexus, trust me man I do not make recommendations based on race LOL I was just stating a few things that will really fit into ur theme (show car) and allow u to get a few more mods for ya money (those JDM kits have to be imported, wait times, etc)

Airbag suspension can be very classy if executed properly, I didn't mean the hopping, front back, side to side stuff. Just height adjustment front and rear. You can PM Junction GS about the details of his kit, and his car is NOTHING like ghetto LOL.

The B-pillar on ur car is the bar between the 2side doors, it goes up between the 2windows. It comes blacked out to give the car a coupe type profile. On ur car its painted so it breaks up the "flow" ask for a photoshop to see what I mean.

And yes, I'm black as well LOL

Hey DGOT... I was thinking the same about ma brotha's B' Pillars also... But I was thinking that he should do it all in chrome, if cost effective enough.... I just think with that paintjob, chrome would excentuate it greatly!..It would give the car a kind of "Dont touch me" attitude..... Keep up the good work MRLEX,.......

Chris

the 1piece will fit, but all the offsets on the 3piece wheels by lsportline arent correct for es300s

nevermind, I found it in an 18......now, what kinda $$ would this run me? Also, I am fairly new to this kind of stuff, what does this "off-set" mean, and how do I correct it (and more importantly, for how much $$?)

i think the 3piece wheels are $600 or $700 a wheel (if not more) if im not mistaken

offset is how far the face of the wheel sits from the center
