hey masta, nice ES. i would personally go without the bra, but that's only b/c i have no taste for them in general. well what dp you personally think of your car color overall. i sorta like that green. but if it isn't to your taste, you could get the whole thing redone. though just the hood would save a load of money. nice rim.s i was looking for somethin in that style, but i don't have the money. so it'll have to wait. nice ride though!

That does look nice, I am really getting the erge to clear my tails now, maybe when i go home for fall break next wednesday. Not much harder than the headlights right? But I also have some ideas to change the tail a little differently than you guys have done. I'll post some pics when I get it...

I'd love to clear my tails, too, especially since I have a 96 with the amber strip running all the way across (instead of the half amber/half red strips in the pre-95 models). Just don't want to ruin a taillamp, I paid $141 to replace a slightly cracked one this spring. Perhaps I'll practice on that one I pulled off mine.
If I could put amber bulbs in the turn signals, and pull off a psuedo-2000-2001 look, it wood be nice. I think someone did clear a 95-96 with the clear strip all across, fill me in if you can remember (or if it's your car)

yeah, i want to put the correct color bulbs back in my tail lights. we'll see what happens after next wednesday....

oh, can anyone post any pics of the cleared tail lights with some colored bulbs in there, or even just some cleared tail light at night pics?

Nice setup on the ES! (On a side note) I went into the SC430 site just to see what kind of discussions were going on. And one guy put 20's rims on his SC and the whole SC crew demolished him for it. Even though I haven't done any real mods to my ES yet, I totally promote any ideas that any of you have.

For once I am glad that I have an ES instead of the coupe!

yeah. i've read that post. but those were some ugly wheels...

I don't think most people would have problem with 20's on an SC430, provided they were tasteful. The reason people criticized that particular red SC430 was for having somewhat ugly, chrome, no-name 20's that simply don't belong on a SC. Put some nice wheels (L-Sportlines, HRE, etc) on, however, and people would be complimenting the same car left and right.

man, that's one nice ES. All the ES's coming up are looking so damn good!!!! nice job everybody!!!

-if you wanna go with a bra to protect the paint, why don't you try a sport bra to cover just the grill and front of the hood. (don't worry about the bumper, the plastic is really durable) I saw an ES with one today and it looked pretty decent.

hey masta, with rims like those... it's look so nice to get some bigger rotors, and new calipers. it'd make the braking much more responsive, and it'd imporive the look around your wheels. the stock rotors look so small when they're matched with 18 inchers...

themasta3

yeah Zeta, i've been looking into getting some Brembo cross-drilled rotors. you have any suggestions for new calipers?

thanks

i'm not actually too sure about good calipers. a full brembo kit wouldn't be too bad... paint the calipers!!
i'm thinking of doing mine red over winter break.
AP classes suck all of my energy... and my free time. i hate them.
