Default GroupBuy time, what are ES 300 owners interested in?

Okay folks, this may be the first group buy for ES 3 owners in history. I am aware there are 3 generations of ES 300s. I am collecting data on what ES 300 owners are interested in. We are working with our main man Steve Ganz (Supratrd) of Carson Toyota to set something up in time for the holidays.

Steve has some items he already has some mind for the GB and even if 1,000 people post they want something does not guarantee it will happen. We will try our absolute best to make it happen.

Please post and take advantage of voiceing what YOU want. Thanks.

Oh, post what year ES u have so I can quantify more accurately.

I'd like to see on upcoming ES's:

1- Radio Controls on the steering wheel.

2- Cars equipped with the Navigation System should have a rear mounted camera to see onscreen the back of the car when backing up.

3- The Cruise Control should adjust the speed when following another vehicle automatically.

Folks,

What he's asking for is what aftermarket or OEM parts you'd like to see as a discounted group purchase from one of our ClubLexus vendors for your current ES... Something like new floormats, Windom badging or a spoiler.

Some possible GB items off the top of my head:

- black pearl ES 300 badging
- Coach/Platinum Edition wheels (chrome or silver)
- floor mats (carpeted or clear)

I don't know if it is available in the US but I have seen a few pics of cars with them, rear window spoilers

black pearl emblem kits (door handles in black pearl would be nice too)
any suspension modifications (lowering kits with shocks).


A supercharger would be very sweet but I'm going long on that one.

Default I'm in the market for

an invisible hood bra which is a thick mylar tape. I believe it's made by 3M. I believe it's sold as Invicta Shield. I'll also consider Piaa direct replacement driving lights, wiper blades, JDM spoilers and body kits, interior wood appliques to cover the non-wood area of the dash and switch panel, and anything else I can buy for the ES330.

I'd love to get my hands on a set of 00-01 HID type headlamps for my 97 ES as well as the hid bulb/ballast kit.. a wood/leather steering wheel might be a nice touch as well

I would along with about four other es owners (previously posted) would like to see lowering suspension parts, i.e. springs, struts, shocks, sway bars. Group buy, group buy, group buy.
Oh yeah, I got a 92 ES300.

96 ES here..

On top of the list would be SPRINGS!! some shocks too.

Not too far in the distance would be some kind of body kit. I wouldn't mind the TRD kit everyone has here..
