as u can see everyone has there opinions about the emblems & I am going thru the same dilema ...somedays I think the badge on trunk looks better & then I see it later & think the one on lights look better, I keep going back & forth, Im leaning towards keeping the one on trunk but not sure yet

you're just putting on nicer looking taillights and a wood steering wheel. that's not converting anything, really.
If your used to ricer standards conversion means engine swapping, but in the english dictionary heres the definition, really

con·ver·sion [kuh n-vur-zhu n] noun =
1. a physical transformation from one material or state to another
2. a physical, structural, or design change or transformation from one state or condition to another
3. a substitution of one component for another so as to effect a change

when u get to know more about the 97-99 & 00-01 ES, you'll see its a little more than changing taillights ...really

Taillights
Front bumper
foglights
grille
woodgrain climate control
woodgrain radio (not doing)
woodgrain steering wheel just got (will install this weekend) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=190056365995
Lexus logo door sills (waiting for a CL member to send invoice)

& Its not about pretending to be an 01. 00-01 just have a few upgraded features that 97-99 didnt come with. Why not upgrade those features if they will make the car look better? If I wanted to buy a '01 I would have, but I found a great deal on Immaculate garage kept 97 with all service records. Its very rare to find a used car still in showroom condition

Oh please, go to hell. What do you know? A wooden steering wheel not only looks good, but it adds ~40 hp at the wheels. You're obviously not high-society enough, like us Lexus owners, to understand that, leave this forum n00b.
