Default Any upgrades?!?!

Hi, I just bought my lexus es350 about 3 months ago (Gray). I just installed 2 12inch subs and am planning to replace the fogs with some yellow HID lights this weekend.

But I am looking for some springs that will lower the about an inch. Also, are there any lips i can add onto the bumper?

I see even LS lexus' getting some of these mods. Hopefully there will be some comming out for the new ES.

I just came from South Florida visiting my wife's grandfather. Talk about upgrades, I saw an ES350 with a velour top. It was a white car with a blue top. Tan interior.

Any takers?

Thanks for the tip, but I think I'll pass.

Did it happen to have whitewalls and gold emblems?

LOL, no. They did not want to "over do" it.

I already have the HID's. just need to install them when i have time. I think it will look nice as the fogs. Also, I can turn them off whenever I see a cop.

If wheels or brakes are on your list, ask DaveGS4 for his opnion here or PM him. I was thinking of brake pad/wheels and if he doesn't know about something you are planning, he sure seems to have sources for info.

i've added a JL 13w6 in my trunk... tinted my windows, converted my halogens to HIDs, replaced the fogs with yellow 2500k nokya bulbs, replaced the parking lights with hyperwhite piaa bulbs and replaced all the signal bulbs with stealth bulbs.....

im planning on dynamatting my trunk to reduce some rattling... and upgrading my speakers with something that has some more kick... eventually, when i get enough money.. some rims.... i've also been looking for springs for the ES350, does any one have any idea if there are any out? and same for lip/body kits....
