I really want to get a metal pipe for between the throttle body and the MAF but im having a hard time finding one. I could make it but then again i never weilded something before, I can have a shop make it but why pay $60 when you can find the part alot cheaper.

Here I drew you a quick sketch, hope I make sense! LOL if you have more questions you can PM me. Since I no longer work at that shop that I weld the last one on my ES, I will be making something like this for my LS, and it has 2 breathers with different size hoses I need to make, instead of just the one for the Windom!

the hideous pole stickin up outta my bumper is a marker so i can see where my bumper is, so I can gauge how close my bumper is in relation to a wall.
personally I dont like it, because it never works for me, the switch that telecopes it into the bumper and hides it away doesnt work and i have no clue how to remove it.
also thanks to some unknown person, there used to be a light on top of it, but somehow its been broken off......
Since I dont know how to remove the marker, I just left it alone an ignored it.
As for a rear red fog light, i dont see one on my rear bumper, mind telling me what purpose a rear fog light would be for, i cant envision someone driving down the road at highway speeds in reverse with an 8th of a mile visiblity. LOL
I have never seen fog in my life where I live, so gennerally fog lights have no use for me sadly.

Thanks L_Sport, I don't take care of her like I do with my GX which is the wife's car as I'm planning to upgrade the ES in a year or 2.
I'm leaning towards the GS350 but I might end up getting an ES350 depending on the roominess of the interior. I drove the IS350 and it was too cramped for me. I'm hopeing that the GS350 isn't as cramped.
I love the LS460 but I can't afford that right now, maybe I should repaint the ES300 and wait 5 yrs to get the LS460....nah....I can't wait that long for a new ride.
That's a sick looking custom intake. how much to fabricate one of those?
Jeremy_KY - Your windom looks 10X better with the tint. Schwweeeet!!!!
I think all cars should come factory tinted. It looks too damn good without it.

Well here is the result of the tinting (tint = 40%), it is slightly overcast today, so the tint appears darker than what it really is. i need to take another photo with bright sunlight.
however it's still nice to stay pretty cool during hot summer days when theirs no rain.

I am a little confused when you said: "it looks too damn good without it"
did you mean that the car looks better without factory tint?, or did you really mean to say, "it looks too damn good with factory tint"? sorry for not being the sharpest tool in the shed

I agree, all cars should come factory tint that way, the po-po cant tear down your expencive tint that you spent your time and money to put onto the car.

I bet those lexani tires would be noisey, and yeah the 225/40/18 is the closest to stock.
I had some General tires on my old 18" set, they rode really well and quiet. good price too.
Nice Drop btw as well.
