Hi everyone, picked up a 2018 es350 with lux and nav at the eom sale for about 20% off MSRP. Atomic grey with pano roof, bsm, rear cross traffic alert, heated wiper park area, black leather with burl maple etc. only items missing were semi aniline leather, mark levinson and passenger memory seat! My first luxury car!

Howdy, all! My 2007 Kia repair was going to be more than the car was worth so I did a MASSIVE upgrade to a sweet starfire pearl 2013 ES with lux and nav. I've already learned so much from this forum and look forward to contributing my experiences.

Third ES in 22 years!
Love my new 3rd ES, a 2018 Eminent White Pearl / Flaxen / Luxury model. Started my Lexus ownership with a new 1996 ES that I kept for 10 years, sold it and bought a 2006 ES that I just sold when I got the 2018.
I used the “email several dealers” process discussed in the forums and got 20.2% off MSRP on a new 2018. Better price than a certified 2017, so I am very pleased with the deal.
It’s a beautiful car, with all the tech features available, even self close trunk. It has clear wrap on hood, front bumper, fenders, and mirrors. Wasn’t sure I liked it, but after a few trips on the interstate, no chips so far, and cleaning bugs off is a breeze. I would now recommend owners consider it.

New here... Es300h 2015 need more BASS help
Whats up guys,
i just picked up a used es300h 2015 as my Daily driver. Its non-ML system sounds good, but not enough BASS. Can anyone recommend where I can grab the signal from to feed an aftermarket amp. I want to replace the oem sub with a kicker or something similar that fits on the rear deck. I read that the stock sub is 2.5ohm not sure how many watts rms...someone was guessing 50w. Regardless that’s not enough power for a descent 8 or 10” sub. I will cover the deck with sound deadening material when I do the swap.
I need a source to feed to feed the new amp. I read somewhere on this forum that the amp is under the driver seat for the 300h? Maybe I can splice into that harness, any ideas?
thanks guys
thanks

Hey fellow Lexus Lovers
I'm new to the forum. Well, I've actually gotten some tips/dead over the years. However; I am finally joining to delve deeper and hopefully meet some good people along the way. My dream is to own my first ES350 in the next two years. Nevertheless, I'm currently the owner of my third ES300. My first was my introduction into the series back in 2005 with a 97 ES300. I loved that car to about 254k miles. The 2nd was a 2001 ES300, that was totaled in 2015. I replaced it with same color Grayish Green Metallic Pearl, but the 2000 model. It was clean, but the dealer concealed many of the scratches with a good detailing that didn't start showimg until close to a year later. The good thing was it had one owner and only 83k miles in 2015. It currently has about 102k miles. Im starting to have some issues with major maintenance like Air/Fuel Sensor that seemed to subside after a Techron Concentrate Fuel System Cleaner additive. Consequently; I recently got the for the Bank 2 Knock Sensor and at loss for what to do for such a major repair. It's stressful. Congrats! For those of you who have those beauties and shared your pics.

New to the Club
Hi Guys, I got a used 2015 ES 350, looking to bling it out. I blacked out the front grille, blacked out the windows and added interior LED upgrade. Looking for the right wheel tire combo, not a fan of the black wheels. Getting exhaust upgrade in new year. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
