New to the board. Not new to the brand.

2013 ES350 Premium, Nav, now with 128k miles. Drives like a dream. I have been using Snow tires in the winter months and the car is rock solid.

I look forward to being a member of the board and learning some new things.

Hi.....former SC400 owner currently looking for an RX330 or RX350. I've come across a couple of good possibilities but they don't have Navigation and a Backup Camera, which I want.
I have a question. I've seen the Lexus Navigation Screen Display for the RX330 & 350's for sale on ebay. Can one of those easily be put in to an RX that didn't come with Navigation and a Backup Camera? Or would it be much more involved to "upgrade"?

Thanks for any help.

You have posted in the 6th Generation ES forum. You would probably get more meaningful responses if you posted in the RX forums.

In any case, if the RX is like the ES, on cars with navigation, virtually all of the hardware and software are different than on cars without navigation. Not only are the screens different, but all of the wiring, wiring harnesses, etc. are also different.

Hello! Just bought a 2013 ES 300h here in Anchorage Alaska. This is the first vehicle I've had that isn't over 100K. Sorry about the dirt but hey, alaskan winter.

The exterior is Deep sea mica. Interior is Parchment
It has the luxury package with Rear sunshade, HID headlamps, BSM, PA, PCS and a few other things.



Got detailed, but that didn't last LOL

Hello out there,

Just bought my "new to me" 2017 ES 350:
- Mica Red Exterior Paint (I love this color, it is as close to Tesla Red as I have seen)
- Cream Leather Interior
- Panoramic Sunroof
- Radar Cruise
- Auto Dimming High Beams
- Split Rims
- Sound System upgrade
- Nav System
- Lane Departure
- Parking Assist
- 7775 miles! Woohoo!

I bought it from carmax - it had 6250 miles when I bought it, for some inexplicable reason they had replaced the tires (with only 6250 miles I would expect the factory tires to still be there), unfortunately they put cheap tires on it and so I'm assuming the ride is not quite as perfect as it can be, although I'm still super impressed by the supple feel (took it to my mechanic, he said it's probably not worth upgrading tires yet). The only other thing to complain about is one of the front disks is subtly warped, (once again, my mechanic said its not much to worry about, will just have to do a brake job early).

Even with these flaws I love this car!!!

It feels like its on par for comfort and style, an upgrade in power, but slight downgrade in handling from the 2008 Benz Wagon 4matic this car replaced -

Anyway, now looking around town, noticed the grill on the newer models is super cool - anybody ever customized their grill?

Default 2014 es350

Hello, I bought a new to me 2014 ES350 in late January. Starfire pearl, I love it. I’ve been reading many posts on Club Lexus, I finally joined. I see many good links to savings and how to procedures as well. I’ve acquired techstream, very happy with that too. I’ve installed the remote start kit from Lexus for my car, bought around Valentine’s Day for 60 bucks from Bell Lexus, I read about the procedure on CL, worked out great, I don’t have the RES+, so mine only uses the factory remote but I’m satisfied for the price and ease of install.

Sweet, now go get the side moldings. They are available through Lexus, come color matched to your car (give them the VIN when you order, that way they'll be the exact color), and are < $100. They come with two-sided adhesive tape already applied, so you only need to peal off and stick on.

They will protect from parking-lot dings, and the also give the side of the car some "character".

Cheers

It shows a white ES350 where you can see the molding on the back door.

So I went to Bell Lexus parts and accessory page. No listing for starfire pearl. I called them and was told that my color is discontinued. My choices are to buy primered ones and have them painted or buy black, which is my interior color. Unless someone is aware of a dealership with a set on the shelf, I’m SOL.

I wonder how close Bizzard Pearl would be, that’s an Avalon color code from 2014?
