Default Whats ur latest ES Mod?

Is it just me but does the ES section seem a little dead sometimes. Thought I'd try to liven up the ES section a little. Post up your latest ES mod and what ur next mod is going to be. I'll kick it off.

Added some headrest screens recently. I'm pretty pleased with them.









Also added the Fusa








JDM vents

Those are "pimp" mods you have going on there Smitty0881. Looks like you will be leaving most of us other ES owners in the dust as far as mods go.

You are right about the ES section seeming a little dead at times. I have felt that way for some time now. Although, I do not do much to contribute, that is why I do not complain. Most of the owners on here are younger with 10+ yrs on their cars and the only reason they have them is because it was now affordable due to age and mileage.

I want to get the AC body kit also, just can't pull the trigger on the purchase.

Thanks for the compliments. I been wanting to get the ES section a little nudge so I figured I'd try to contribute more. I wish there was a larger interest in the ES so we could get parts but not cost effective to companies if no one will buy them. But we'll get the ES section going

Looking good! Have you thought about a shorter shift ***? That thing just looks out of place in my opinion. Other than that, great job!

Speaking of, Mr. Search and I cannot seem to locate the thread where someone had a really nice Shift **** replacement for an automatic ES. Does anyone know who had it or where that thread is hiding? (If I find it, I'll edit this post because it's a NICE mod to do)

Yep. I just had to ask about it and THEN only can I find it for myself. Here it is. Just ordered it.

My next mods are: 1) Exhaust system, 2) CAR PC & sound system

I'm still working on a set of new wheels. I actually found 1 I like, but are discontinued almost everywhere.
Its the Niche F-16 18"
OH WAIT! I just added a 12" Kicker L5 in a Kicker single ported box in the trunk. So Far these Sound Great. Very pleased. My first single 12"
I used 2 10" and single 10" setups before. It's not as accurate as I'm use to but Quakes!!!
Hmm It's raining now so I can't post any pics yet I will shortly.
I do remember the box was a pain to put in tha trunk. It didn't fit initially and had to remove the spare, or I mean move it to get the box in.
Lastly I need to mount my JL 500 somewhere.

BTW anyone know where I can find these rims perhaps?
