2002+ ES 300/330 performance
Hey I tried looking, but couldn't find anything.
I know i'm going to get flamed for this, but are there are performance parts for the 2002-2006 ES 300/330s ?
Thanks in advance.
Flame suit on.

I won't flame you for it. 
There is actually a signifcant lack of aftermarket performance parts for the ES and the RX, of which both have had the same engine group in the North American market, the 1MZFE.
As a result, take a look at the link to my RX300 below to get some ideas first.

I see you have 2002-2005 ES. I have an 03 and I have installed Tanabe NF210 drop springs. They provide a very comfortable ride as well as fill in the fender gap. The ES aftermarket for these years are limited but there are suspension upgrades(Tanabe, Eibach, TRD, Sprint, Tein), some performance (air filters, spark plugs, test pipes). I have yet to find a bolt on exhaust for this year but I have seen some on the JDM versions. I think they are either JDM only exhausts or they are the universal versions and are fabricated to fit. The older gen ES's have more avaliable bolt on parts that are interchangeable with most Toyota Camry parts. I am going to order the 5Zigen Mega exhaust and have it fab'd to my exhaust. They also carry some aero upgrades in the form of JDM otional equipment. Good luck.
Here's a pic of my car for reference:

I'll post w/ the Tanabe NF210's later.

Thanks. The 5Zigen muffler costs approx. $250-275 and approx. $100-150 to have it welded. You may want to look into the exhaust systems for the Toyota Solara as well. I know alot of the Solara parts are interchangeable with our models. You can also find many accessories for the ES, such as; Window visors, black pearl emblems, chrome window trim, wood/ carbon dash & interior kits, HID conversions, chrome trunk trimming and other things I can't remember at the moment. I am almost where I wanna be with my ES right now. I just bought a GS430 a few months ago and I am planning for that car. I think with this car, I get alot of heads turning. The fact that there aren't many custom ES's on the road makes it more rewarding. Most people I talked to looked at the ES as a "granny" car but when they see my car they have a change of heart. I hope this helps.
