Nice car! Alabaster is my favorite color on the 02-06 ES300/330! However, I know what my first mod would be if that was my car...


I personally do not like the 02-04 tail lights, and think these on the 05-06 are much nicer! Hopefully you can find a set cheap!

Oh, man, you have to debadge it, and then move the "Lexus" to the front grill. Take out the HID's and put in halogen projectors. And I second replacing the "L" with a Toyota emblem. J/K Nice ride.

How about this: "Oh man you need a tint, bigger wheels, a drop, dual-exhaust mod, etc." J/K.

Nice color and reliable 1MZ.

Yeah, definitely the '05-06 tail lights are much nicer - I liked it so much I was about to get an '06 ES two years ago but decided to wait (glad I did too).

Congrats on your new purchase.
