A little update on my ES
I think I'm pretty much done with my car for now. 
There was another car show called X5 Japan Supershow (http://www.x5.jp/) that hit Guam a couple of weeks ago... I won 2nd place at a show earlier this year, so I joined up hoping that I would have a chance again... but wow... the competition was fierce! I think everyone was hiding their rides for this show or something. Needless to say, I finally realized that it takes alot of time... alot of money... too much actually to keep modding the ride. So I guess I'm pretty much done with it for now, although I wanted to get some gauges like mcelligott has. Oh, and I need a new deck and speakers. LOL. Anyway, here are some pics I snapped really quick after a wash this afternoon.
white neons
Apexi World Sport 2 exhaust
12" JL Audio sub, always forgot to post pics of this and my monitor
Here's the Raybrig door light that some people wanted to see

Juan, good job keeping your ES looking brand spanking new (and tastefully modded) Is your front windshield tinted? I don't think I've seen that look before
How does your vanity light come on? From what I remember when I had my '96 ES, those lights only come on when the door is opened, but I may be mistaken. BTW, I like the bright white light of the Raybrig. Maybe you can install one for the map light and use it as your personal reading light
May I suggest one more potential mod to keep you going? How about cleared tailights for your ES? I know a couple members like The_Hitman have done it to their '92-'96 ES, and I think with the cleared tails, that would strengthen the appearance of your body color from the rear. Tell me what you think

You are correct about the vanity light, I just had the door opened a bit to take that picture.
You know what, I think clear taillights would look great as well. As a matter of fact, the first thing my dad said about the paint was that the tails didn't really match "as well as it could". I have considered doing it, but I am scared that I will somehow mess up along the way. I don't really want to go out and purchase another set or have condensation filled tails.
I love that first pic. The color of background/sky and the color of the car blends in together awesome.
your car has inspired me to spend all of my money on my es3 =).
