Pics look a little bit dark and grainy, but the ES sure looks nice. Young, are you riding on stock or aftermarket suspension parts? I like the custom mods you've done, esp. the grille. I might have to consider that kind of mod on my '01 ES later on

I dont care for that type wheel......just my opinion

if those are 20's you need a kit or something cause the front looks kinda funny how its all tall.

other than that.....props for the efforts

Cool

I'm with GATO.
If you were going for the 80's Malibu with 24's affect on the big wheels - you got it!
Props on the car.

Default Welcome :D

Good to see a new member, and another 96es owner.

My 96 is same milage as yours. In 3 years, spent about $3000 for normal maintenance, tires and repairs. High satisfaction.

That M/B grill is over the top! Very nice work. What inspired you?

oh thanks alot guy's for your comments yes lexusk8 factory suspension.
Gato thanks alot I owe you one the front do look a little high planning on dropping the front 1.5"
sorry for the grainy pics took them almost at night time.
lexus daisy what inspired me was one day I forgot to close my hood after changing the battery terminal, I wast alking to my girl on the phone and forgot to close the hood, the hood flew up busted out the front window, & sunroof ,the hood and the grill also got damaged so i was driving around without a hood and this local welder in houston name Mr. Clark came up with the whole concept.Mr. Clark deos alot of customise grills for alot of people on the southside of Houston,Texas
Yes they are 20" just ran out of films i will take some more pics today

holy moly... I like the all black.
Rims/grill aren't that great looking to me, but to each his own.
