Default Any advise on modifying 2002 Lexus ES 300?

Hi Everyone,
This is the first time I am posting a message on this site. I am very happy to know that there is something like this for all lexus fanatics. I recently purchased a 2002 ES 300. I love it a lot. I was wondering if anyone could advise or direct me on how to add more performance to this engine as well as some body kits for this model. Please help. Alll the help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Appearance-wise, you may refer to the thread of the elegant sports package at https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=55479 .
I'm not aware of any engine upgrades so far.

welcome to clublex. when i was at the auto salon in japan back in january, there were light rumors floating around that some japanese body kits for the 02 ES would be coming out for sure...and the earliest that would happen would be this fall. so i guess you could stay put for that. cross your fingers and stay put. in the meantime, what about some rims? the really spokey stock rims make me dizzy sometimes, although they're fine wheels

An official Toyota body kit for the '02 ES is already out in Japan. But it seems the cheapest you can get it for here is double the list price (due to overseas shipping and markup).

Thanks Dude!! I can't believe a chromed trunk bar costs like $110. I see that thing on the 02 camry's like standard. I am planning to change the lights for starters. Any ideas? Nice to have all of it just white.
Thanks,
