hi everyone, Ive had a '95 es 300 for a little over a month now. This is my first es but my second lexus (i miss my ls). But so far i have put some 17" wheels from a sport design is 300 on and fixed the air conditioner as well as a good wash. I plan on having the windows tinted later this week and also buy some lowering springs (possibly teins) and would also like some black pearl emblems but i am open to suggestions.






let me know what you think.

WELCOME TO CL Looks nice I have the tein springs and I love them. Make sure you do the struts and the strut mounts when you do them I went with KYB for mine

Very nice ... I love the headlights on the 95 ES300.

You sound like me ... a former LS400 owner, switching to an ES300.
I notice the level of refinement to be about equal between the cars,
but I miss the general opulence of the bigger Lexus.

Enjoy your new ride.

Nice 2ES man. An HID kit would throw that car into the 21st century nicely. That and we 2ES's have a pretty sharp cutoff for stock

i got the other style IS rims but i gotta admit the sport design definitely compliments the 2ES very well. What tire size are you running on it? Did you use any spacers?

I would definitely go with the black pearl emblems. Believe me, it looks awesome contrasting to the white body

Welcome to CL btw

yeah that is just one thing on my ever-growing to do list

so i had my windows tinted earlier today. its 20% on all but the windshield but with the car being white it looks even darker to me.


i'm happy with how it turned out.


tomorrow i plan on looking at some 6x9's since the stock ones aren't workin
