Default My ES300

Since I'm new and all here, I thought I'd might as well chuck up some pictures I took of my car for ya'll to see.
At the moment it's stock, and has to get the transmission repaired, but after the transmission repair, im soon to get a set of 16" rims VIP style, lowering body, and I have to pull out the back lights to take the indicator colour out :P

And it has all the fancy stuff you'd expect suh as, black leather interior, airbag, saftey kit, climate control, premium sound system with 8 speaker dolby digital and 12 stacker cd player, electric everything including seats and so on.

I'm trying to keep the car luxurious, but still sporty.
At the moment I'm ordering in some black matts for the inside floor, where I will be stitching the Gold Lexus word from the original carpets onto the new black matts. I'll try to get some pictures up of when I do that... remember though, this is all after the transmission fix... the cars not half as fun when all you can do is sit in it playing with the radio and climate control


P.S Is it possible to post more than one picture at a time???

Very nice and tidy!

You might poke around in the VIP forum to get some ideas about VIP/EXE style for your ES. There's even this thread about how VIP-style an ES can get and how they might get it there. For starters you'll probably want to go with a LOT larger rim for VIP-style than a 16".

Don't let the VIP-style theme drive you crazy and into the poor house though. By the time you've got everything according to that spec, another trend will come in and replace it.

Isn't this enthusiast stuff fun?!

Good to know some people still have a sense of style round the place. I wouldn't mind chuckin a chrome grill onto the beast.
Yes I live in Australia, so you get some stuff you guys don't over there, and I'm sure it's vice-versa. The only thing that bugs me the most is the ride hieght!! I gotta lower it... "funds are a bit low at the moment"

Very clean I never cared to go just for VIP styling Just do it how you think looks nice but def. start wit the rims it makes all the diff. I would go with some 18's or 17's for the summer and keep your stockies for the winter.

Yeah, I have a pair of rims hooked up so they should look good once I put them on, but there's no problems with having the rims on all year round here, winter isn't that drastict
