Hey guys I havent been on the forum much lately so most of you do not know me. But I have been working on my ES for about a year now and I have a lot of knowledge of the ES (mainly 2nd gen) and am always willing to impart that knowledge to anyone who needs help with an ES...


I have many pics from a digi cam that I will post later... but for now (since I am at work) I will post the ones I took with my phone in our parking garage...









Mods to this es...
18" 2006 LS 430 Rims w/ Pirelli P-Zero 225/40/18s
Mono-Black Paint
HID's 6000K
Auto-Dim Digital Compass Mirror
Black Emblems
Double-Din In-Dash Pioneer Avic D2 Navigation System (2nd Nav first was stolen )
32 LED Guage Cluster from LLT with Custom Clear Window (no tint on cluster window)
Remote Start Alarm with paging feature (the nav was stolen once so I had to beef up the alarm)
95-96 Tail Light Update


I have KYB struts and Vogtland Lowering springs sitting in my house waiting to be installed... just havent gotten around to it yet... the springs will drop it 1.6"

I purchased this 92 ES for $2000 and have put $2000 in mods into it.

Repairs:

When I purchased this car it was bad... which is why I got it for $2000 (actually a little less)
I have replaced all mounts on it... re-wrapped the steering wheel, replaced the climate control, retro-ed AC system, put in new windsheild (when I did the auto-dim mirror), replaced window regulators, did a complete valve adjustment, major body work, new gear shifter, new headlight housings + much more small stuff... all work I have done myself including the body work and paint prep.

I forgot to mention... this car has 140K on the clock and a new tranny put in by the previous owner... in case you cant tell its got the black leather interior...



Cheers,

Looking good. Sounds like you did alot of work. Loving those 5-stars and the black paint.

Two bit

how much were those wheels and where'd you get them from?

djdoughboy

Hey guys thanks for the comments... I purchased the wheels from a friend. They came from his LS430, they are OEM.

nice all black es... haven't seen many of those. i suggest smoking out the head lights and tail light.. it'll give that dark side look... just a suggestion. plus i think it'll look great.



oh by the way i have a question about your auto dim mirror. how did go about putting it on?

Very Nice mods, you should go with some tints.

Good buy man. It looks nice from what I see. Good luck with future mods.

Where did you get your auto dim mirrior? Was it hard to install?

Looks awesome, Sean!
Those LS430s really suit your ES.
I'd also like to see some pics of your new AVIC D2 navi system.
The black leather interior seems to be pretty rare for this generation. Mine's black too and I much prefer it to the far more common beige interior.
I agree about some tint - IMHO, that would finish off the sexy black on black look nicely.
Wow - 32 LEDs with a clear window! That has to be one very readable gauge cluster! Got pics of that too? Who is LLT?

Thanks for posting. Looking forward to the higher quality digicam versions. Although I guess I was priveleged enough to get a preview of some of them already.
