Cool What do you guys think?

I'd like to post some pictures of my car and what I have done to it. I'd like to hear some feed back and maybe some suggestions of what more I can do to her? It's a 2000 es300.








^4ES chrome rims, toyo proxes4, and white painted calipers


^Still need to pay to have the back window tinted, did the doors myself(35% tint)

So that's basically it besides a alpine flip up 7" tv deck, 4 gauge power wire, 2 12" Kenwoods subwoofers, and an oldschool alpine punch 1000.1 amp thats being repaired right now, let me know what you think.

Thanks, Tanner.

the rims are 17's and I think they are decent for 200$ on craigslist. Eventually i'd love upgrading to some 18 enkei lm-1/5s chromes. I think those would look awesome with some 30-40 tires. Eventually planning on lowering it about an inch. What else would make it look nice and possibly even preform nicer for not a ton of money?

thanks for the feed back, glad to hear most of you like it. And i realize some people dont like the chrome, but I think it looks pretty balanced on this white car, not too flashy but just enough. The wheels are off the 02-05 ES series lexus, bought them off craigslist cheap, they have some roadrash and what not but it's not like I wont put any on them myself (being this is my first car). Megafast- I'll let you know if I can ever work up the 1500$ to pick up some enkei's and tires and I'll sell you the wheels and JamesBond- I like your wheels, I am really a fan of the 5spoke style.. too bad mine don't have one less spoke hah.

Thanks for the input guys, I like to hear it!

Thumbs up

Clean, simple, schweeeet. Well done.
Don't sweat the chrome-haters. Chrome is pretty when done tastefully.
Drive that beauty proudly.

I haven't seen white calipers before. Do they stay white for long?

Thanks man, glad to hear someone likes chrome hah. Not so sure why so many people on this website are anti-chrome. Anyways yeah I hadn't seen white before either which kinda made me want to do it, be a little unique. But its just hightemp vht spray paint, been on for about 2 weeks and its looking clean still, just wipe them down with water and a towel when i wash it. Not the highest quality, but it has held up fine. And if it starts looking bad, I'll repaint them. I like them so far

CLean & simple.

The chrome works, ONLY because the car is white i think...

Just lower it, drive it. Change the oil & add gas.

You don't need to do anything else to it, its fine as-is.

Thanks 01LEX. Just another question, since my car is equppied with the factory hid bulbs, would that mean if I wanted to update to say 6k Hids I would only need to purchase the bulb, plug it in and I'm good to go? Or would I need the kit including the ballask?

All you need is a 6K D2R Bulb most likely. Like this one:
