Nice car and mods.. Luv those headlights.. Wish the 97's came with those ... Congrats

Here is a photo-chop of what my car might look like once i put the springs and struts on and tint it up...

I think it looks good like that... what do you guys think?

Thanks very much to Vic Nyce in the photoshop forum for choppin it for me




looks like he also cleared my tails and corners

i was just about to inquire about the clear tails......then i finished reading. sweet *** if i do say so myself (of which i have not)

Lexucan

wow....that looks GREAT!

Don't ya wish actually doing the mods was as cheap and easy as it is to photoshop 'em?

click...click...click and it's done!

djdoughboy

haha yeah I agree, fortunatly for me, I already shelled out for the struts and springs... just gotta put 'em on... and I actually have a friend who does window tinting, and said he could do all 5 windows for relatively cheap.

When I first got my 96 tails in the mail, I was planning on clearing them out before I installed them on the car... but they were in such perfect brand new condition... I couldn't bring myself to heat them and open them up... so i think im going to keep them yellow, same goes for my corners... those are new headlights, and they look so sharp I wouldn't dare open them and risk getting moisture in them and turning them all foggy like my old ones...

Lexucan

You could ask Mr. Nyce to make you some full-scale versions of the cleared headlight corners and tails and then paste them on yer car over the real ones! Beats ruining your brand new lights! And I bet you'd be the first one in your town to have mods like that!

But seriously though.....can't blame you for not wanting to risk wrecking them in your oven!

Don't put those fake black pearl emblems on, they get destroyed after one day of rain...I bought them for my old ES....they look like *****. FYI

Very nice work! How much did you pay for the new headlight housings and what is the offset on the rims?

good job,,,,it looks clean.....now drop her

The new headlights were around $200 from my local Toyota Auto Parts Dismanteler (Lexus & Toyota Yard)




They were not new... but they look brand new... as you can see they are crystal clear with no scratches I had to search for a while to find them though, but my old ones were scratched up and yellowed very badly so I needed to get them...

I don't remember the offest for the rims... but if you look up the 06 LS 430 rims... that is what they are

Slooooooow

Shocking this thread from the dead, seeing if DJ Doughboy is still amongst us (maybe he's subscribed to his own old thread?) and how this beautiful ES is doing now. DJ, you out there, bro?
