Those are much better pics of your ES jhenty, and I think you are certainly on your way with a pimpin' luxo ride 
The kit flows well with the body lines, and I'm digging the self-made JDM-style grille. You know how it is with the mod bug... once it bites into you, it will never go away 
BTW I'm merging your other thread into this one.

to make the grill I took it out and first painted it black, just use any automotive spraypaint, I used toyota black paint. And then I taped off the outer edge of the grill. I then used a chrome spraypaint, both are available at pep boys, autozone, or wherever. And painted that part, a few coats for each. Once you remove it you will notice that there might be some dripping that happened so you will havto touch it up with some black paint. After that use a few coats of clear coat and it should be looking good.

I still think that the 2nd gen. ES looks the best.
There's one cruising around town (driver is around 70 y/o
), but she's the only one with this cool paint job (I believe it's stock, cause what grandma re-paints their Lexus a different color?); it's a very light champagne with pearly pinkish/white rocker panels; there's no special emblems on the car, but it's the ONLY ES I've seen in this color. Looks SWEET! (ya-haah grandma! )
Didn't all ES's come with the standard gray rockers?
P.S. The rims are stock-style (double spoke 3-star).

Never really seen a es with a full kit like that, it looks nice and it might look even better with a drop and tint. If your trying to go the cost effective route than you can use intrax springs, and for the muffler you can use magnaflow which isn't loud and it's deep, and tint shouldn't cost you more than $150 with life time warranty. If you need me to get the parts for you let me know and I can tell you a spot to go to for tint.
