The rear lip is sort of what is on the 2010 Corolla S Sport, its two pieces at the bottom of rear bumper.
Ah ok. So just a rear add on. That shouldn't be all that difficult. Were you looking for something like that or for something similar to the NISMO rears for the 350z?

Nice. Was there any particular style you were looking for?

(I hate the sidetrack for the original post, so apologies, but...)
ExtremeDimensions:
  • The ES and Windom are the same car.
  • The SECOND generation ES is as pictured above and sbristow84's pictured above.
  • The model years 1992-1996 are the years for the SECOND generation ES.

With the basic facts outta the way, the lip pictured on the car above has been GREATLY coveted by US 2nd Gen ES300 owners for as long as I've been on this board and longer.

If you manage to find THIS lip (heretofore only available in Japan long ago), or have one manufactured that looks just like it - you will have pulled off one of the largest HOLY $%^& tasks EVAR to be pulled off in this ES forum. Just sayin'...

Back on topic for the OP, as you can tell by the attached pics, folks haven't been leading you astray or wrong on the available, practical mods for the 4th gen ES (2002-2006). The Camry and ES (Windom) have never had much of an aftermarket for modifications, with the 3ES getting the lion's share of what few mods are out there.

Mods - typically "executive look" mods - that that COMPLIMENT the clean simple elegance of the ES design seem to work best.

And...THANKS for your service!

Nice. Was there any particular style you were looking for?
The style I was looking for was either the one pictured on the 4th Gen ES, first picture or the TRD Camry lip on the second picture.

Either one of these would be better than nothing. As Slooowww stated, not too many body kits or add on lip kits made for the ES or Camry. Also front lips like the one pictured below the TRD Camry would be nice too. The one I currently have is from VIS Racing, which I believe isnt being made anymore, and which I have broke in half and repaired again, see link for pic: http://www.visracing.com/oldcatalog/...e.php?pID=5417

As you can see on my car, the last picture, I have the VIS Racing front lip, your Extreme Dimensions side skirts, just need an add on rear lip to finish out my body kit.

Like Slooowww, also mentioned, sorry to hijack the thread. Its not everyday a body kit maker has listened to our ES needs. Thank you, Extreme Dimensions for listening to us, much appreciated.
