Looking good!
Where did you get the strut mount bar? Any problems with fitment under the hood?
What year is that grill?

Good work.

CCCCLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!

I would say dump it with some coilovers but I bet that's rough driving in NY.
I'm curious of that strut bar and the projectors, that look HID. Just replaced xenon bulbs? Jockin' on your intake too. Keep us updated

Very nice. The headlights on these ES300s back in the early 90s was the first thing that gave me an inclination that a Lexus might be in my future...it was a very distinctive feature to me. Glad to see you are enjoying your vehicle.

I've got a set of 9006 7000k Helio HID kit in stock projector. No problems with the HID kit but my output sucks because i didnt do a retrofit. It looks great tho. the contrast between the hids and yellow fogs are awesome. cost me 250$ 6 months ago.

The paint is actually not that glossy as the picture suggests. lots of lil scratches and imperfections. And the bottom cladding definitely needs to be repainted. I am just waiting for the chance to paint the whole car solid black.
The camera lied in my favor this time. lol.

Good work.

got the strut bar from some camry guy on toyotanation. no fitment issues. i'm sure you can find one on ebay.

The grill is a stock 93 grill custom painted chrome JDM style.
