Default First mods +++ New wheels

As many of you now know under Smitty's influence my wife has decided to "update" her 95 ES. She has asked me to put my greedy touch on it. So the modding has begun. Not a whole lot to show right now, just eyelids, HID's an a new set of wheels. The HID kit is a Matsu****a 7K, a little higher than what I was originally looking for but they look ok. They look a little bluer in the pics than they actually are. Anyway here are some pics.

First off here's the car...



Before HID



After HID



And the eyelids

Very clean ES. Wheel pics please.

Change the fogs to match the lows maybe. Or go with yellow.

Thank you, we have had it for a long time and it's just never given us a reason to get rid of it. I've tried to talk her into buying a new car (SC430) and she says she doesn't want to let her car go yet, so let the modding begin.

I agree, the fogs definetly need updated. I actually just replaced the bulbs with new Sylvanias before I decided to go with the HID's and now of course they don't match at all. I'm also thinking about clearing the corners. Otherwise it will obviously need new suspension but I'm not sure what to go with yet. I probably won't know for sure until I get the wheels mounted which won't be till spring now, as winter is upon us. They are **** ********* **** 18x8's. I think they will look pretty clean. Right now she doesn't want a body kit, but I think we will probably end up putting the Signature kit on it. In the mean time I have someone over in Japan seeking out the infamous front lip.

If you friend over in Japan stumbles upon a stockpile of 2nd Gen Lips, I propose a group buy!
