that is precisely what i am against actually, that that truly offends me. i own a lexus, not a honda.

i have 6000k hids and i wish i bought the 4300k, no underglow, its pointless unless ur in a show. i dont like spoilers on the es, and i would never spray my interior pieces, they smell wayyy to bad afterwards. i have one sticker..its my tein sticker. its small.

i wish the drop wasnt so much, but unfortunately the springs were cut if they were standard s-techs i would be like an inch higher and i would have less bounce, i'd be happy

on top of those interior pieces smelling bad, they look terrible too. so please dont assume what i would do and wouldnt, if you knew the history to this car, you would be singing a different tune.

i took the intake out btw, it wasnt doing anything and the sound was too loud for my taste. i love being the quiet car that can put those civics to shame. which is why i want the LS460, a 2ton+ car that goes 0-60 under 6 seconds. and its quiet.

Not really my thing, i like perfectly stock, but it's your car and you enjoy it and thats all that matter. Personally my favorite mod of yours is the antenna, I think it completes the typical 90's executive sedan haha. I can see it as if it were yesterday, caddy's merc's and lexus with little phone antennas on the back window haha

It does have a bit of a ricey look, but the proper rims would eliminate that I think, most people wouldn't look at it like us car nuts and know they're Camry rims and cut springs. I wouldn't personally drop my ES for the same reasons as Cor. I might have left the emblem too. Do you though man who gives a **** what we think, it's your car bro. BTW the antenna is awesome.

I don't like the way the homemade lip looks. It cheapens the car's look. Kinda like when people buy spinning hubcaps from Walmart.

I have to agree with Corey too. One of my favorite features on the Lex is the smooth comfy ride. The only thing I want to change about the suspension is the body roll.

The drop is cool with me even though I'm not going to be doing it to my car. Also as far as the Camry rims, I think hardly anyone will notice it. A few of us are car enthusiasts so we notice odd things like that but not many you encounter will be like "Wait a minute. Those are Camry rims! Hahahaha".
