Better cornering, still quiet, smooth and ride feels the same

No rubbing at all. Since the 19” come standard on the F Sport, I asked the Discount Tire salesperson about increasing from 18”. They told me it would fit fine and this 255 was the widest tire they recommended with this 8.5” Touren rim. Very happy with the look, ride, and handling.

any chance you have a link to this lip? I have been looking at the ones on eBay and not sure which ones are good how much ones are bad. I also noticed that none of them come with hardware so you’re left to try and figure out how to put it on.

I dont even know where to begin.....

Lowered the car about 2 weeks after I purchased it
Had the paint correction done and ceramic coated
Painted calipers
Switched out the badges
Installed the carbon fiber steering wheel and shift ****
Installed Rockford Fosgate 10" powered sub (P300-10)
Added additional sound deadening material throughout the car
Im pretty sure I've done some additional things. I have to do better about keeping things updated in here.










Is it me or does a car look incomplete when there's a front skirt/lip and there's no side and rear skirts?

Not to me. I like a clean and simple look. That side skirt stuff is just too much in my opinion. Plus, I’d be afraid a passenger would step on it getting out of the car.

I like that spoiler! Looks awesome!

Where did you get it & was it an adhesive install or drilling into the trunk to install?

Love it! Where did you get those splash guards? I want to install the exact same ones on my 2020 ES. Please let me know.

Cool

Since I just got my ES yesterday....the only thing I have done so far is the Aquapel glass treatment (I swear by this stuff) & Rain X.

As for what I am going to be doing to my ES 350....this is a 'teaser' pic....as I am just getting started as I have other items on order....'

Return the K&N air filter if you actually care about your engine. I also used a Fumoto drain valve and it leaked around the gasket so I chucked mine in the garbage, I would not recommend them either.

I appreciate your feedback....however, I have never had an issue in 25 years with K & N air filter's & yes I have measured the performance & fuel economy & benefits on my vehicle's compared to the OE stock 'paper' air filters. So I have no idea what you mean or are referring to by saying "if you actually care about your engine". Show me the proof (you may have noticed that I have been a member here since 2004...& on my 3rd ES).

Also have used the Fumoto valves on a regular basis for 15+ years on many vehicles...I have never had one that leaked a drop of oil around the gaskets when properly installed.

I only use parts / fluids & other products that I have had extensive experience with...prove me otherwise. Experience is a good teacher.

If you have an opinion & actual proof about a specific product that has failed that I have used many times, great let's have that discussion...I need the facts, not just someone's opinion.

Anything to say about Amsoil?
