Howdy tOnerz! to ClubLexus and the ES forum.

So what's your direction with the ES? Are you a lifted, DUBS enthusiast?
VIP/bippu? Executive?

Welcome to Club Lexus! The wheels are not my cup of tea but overall your car looks pretty clean, could use a drop though

Welcome to Club Lexus and nice looking ES 300 you got there. I'll agree with everyone else. You car needs a slight drop...

thanks for all the comments and compliments fellas. (any ladys if any)

once i start puttin people in the car the car kinda drops itself lol. with 4 average passengers i do still rub a lil bit on dips and turns. i also have spacers in the back wheels springs because without those i would rub with 3 people and the car would be unridable with 4 people in it. i have heard of the fender roll but i heard it messes up the value of the car.

im just goin for a shiny stunner look with the car. the ride is all stock minus the rims and sound system.

any ideas as far as droppin it and the fender roll thing?

thats not rubber bands. I'm getting my new tires mounted tomorrow 215/35/19 on 19x8.5. Now if you were going 30 as opposed to 35s that would be rubber bands
