This thread is pic-based, showing what you started with and where you're at now. How about you stay on thread topic and show us what you started with and where you're at now with yours?

You might also look up the aftermarket wheels thread and peruse it if you're wanting some wheel ideas (wheels not to buy, and/or wheels you like).

Welcome to the club

No, I sold my lovely white ES Coach and bought that purple/gray one. I would never re-paint a car that color.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the site from Australia!

Here are just a few 'before and after pics' of my 1997 Es300. At this stage I've really only done the side indicators and the wheels. ( I've also added a few badges - if you look closely in the last pic I have added the es300 badge to the front fender and also a small lexus logo on the rear door on the black bit on the pillar) Saving up at the moment for the ES 2000-2001 clear tail lights. I can't wait for them! In my opinion lexus parts are sooo expensive here in Australia though! After months of searching, just the rear outer lights cost about AUD $235 EACH!!

Lookin good Maxx941. Lovin the eyelids. I definitely want some just hard for me to dish out 120 for them on Ltunedparts but I just may have to do that. Makes the car look very hot.

Can we please keep the comments short? I see a lot of negative feedback and thats not what this thread was made for. Short questions/answers are fine but please do not post discussions on here. Thank you.
