Welcome to Club Lexus!

I like the color of your ES...not too common. But black will look awesome too!
Are you keeping it two-tone (black/grey) or going mono?

Wow, She's a beauty!

Nice car alright and I love that Dvd/Tv screen I wish I had one in my ES.

I've never seen a red one before either - well in Australia anyway.

Looks great. Thanks for taking the time to share the pics of your ride!

Congrats and welcome! My cousin used to have one in that color, until she totalled it . By the way, you should get rid of the gold badging and the gold exhaust tips.

First of all, thanks for the hearty welcome.

haha definately gettin the badges shaved and the antenna as well. im takin the exhaust tips out too. i jus bought this leterally lol. only had it for bout a week at most.

I'm not doing the two tone like everyone else has. im doin solid jet black.

Does ne one know the wheel fitment for these? like the bolt pattern? and if ne one could help me into finding sum bags for it. =]

Thanks for all the comments. =D

Congrats and Welcome to CL! Definitely a unique color, as I haven't seen any of those around. She definitely could use the paint job. Nice looking in-dash screen!

The bolt pattern is 5X114.3 and offset is +45. Some of the simplest options for some wheels are IS300 (17X7) or RX300 (18X7). I have the IS300 wheels on my ride and love the way they look on it.

I don't like the 2-tone so great decision on the solid jet black.

Don't forget about tinting the car and perhaps lowering it.

Keep us posted with the mods!
