n00b NELOC member! (ES content)
hey everyone
im new to CL and NELOC, but not to forums or toyota/lexus vehicles. Im a mod over at toyotanation and i have met smitty before and seen his kick *** ES, so i figured id join up here as i just yesterday traded my 2003 camry SE for a crystal white/tan 2003 ES300 i picked up off a trade in at the toyota dealer im a technican at..car has 71k, fully loaded (leather, burlwood, 6cd, heated seats, sunroof, etc) and has a full service history from lexus of annapolis and lexus of silver spring. Needless to say im thrilled with my new lexus! it feels nice to have fuffiled my dream of lexus ownership!
since i previously had a modded gen 5 camry, i swapped my TRD rsb, fsb and air cleaner over to my lexus. I have a few other items that need to be adressed, but it will be a nice clean transition for my ES!
heres some quick pics of the ES for you! more better pics to come
yes the dealer liscence tag frames and sticker will be GONE asap!

Welcome Corey!! Finally, a 4th gen ES owner. I'm really feelin the ES love this season. Congrats on the new car, looks really clean. I originally wanted a white ES, but Lexus Silver Spring didn't have one with the options I wanted. I am looking forward to having someone to mod my car with, I have the 05ES330 in blue onyx. See you at the bbq.

thanks guys!
lexgrl, i actually found that the TRD RSB and FSB for the gen 5 camry are direct bolt ons for the 4th gen ES (as expected..same chassis) and i was quite happy about that fact...they REALLY improved the handling and performance of my ES
its nice to see a few ES people around!
i have a few more items to adress but im hoping to have her ship shape by the BBQ!
