true, it may sound stupid to do engine mods on the ES when they made an IS for that. But i think it would be pretty cool to do something unique here

I think there was someone on cardomain that was planning or in the process of supercharging his ES350.

I think some people might plan to mod their ES or GS because the IS is much smaller.
People like best of both worlds. - Mod's and room for it.

That is why most sports car comes with a option in 4 doors these days. It is just that some people prefer more room than others. (Hope this makes sense)

I guess that most of the mods are custom: headers, catback.... i wonder if you can find cold air intake for this car, maybe looking at Camry's. I do agree with JC07, having the size and adding the mods for horsepower is the best combo.

cant seem to find a CAI for es350 but i think a Weapon R Short Ram Intake - Dragon Intake and K&N air filter will do.

Man, if I were to mod my ES I would do the suspension first. It already goes pretty fast in a straight line. Corners are another matter. Lots of body roll.

buy a k&N intake for the 2007 v6 toyota camry and the borla or trd cat back exhaust really adds a little kick. As far as suspension i have the megan damper set-up for the camry and ride great even with rubberband 235/30/22 tires. just my experience!!!!having a modified ES really catches alot of attention!

the message display stayed normal no problems what so ever and if you are thinking of buying it try 2kracing.com cheapest price i found and luckily for me they were around the corner from my house but then i again i bought about 6mnths ago! the only thing i think i did wrong was continue to pu the engine cover! i think i should take it off but i looks so much cleaner with it.just my opinon

You have got to put up some pictures. It sounds like an interesting setup. Video and audio of exhaust would be sweet too.
