I am only hours away from a puchase of a Lexus ES250. As a Camry owner for some years, I felt it was time to step it up a notch... Well, actually, in all honesty, I was on the hunt for a 5 speed Camry V6 and came across a 5 speed ES250. Figured it would fit the bill, with a bit of style added.

So I am interested in getting some info on the car's upgrade possibilities. I have already assumed that is the same type of capability as a Camry V6, but in all honesty, the search hasn't brought up much about it. If it's there, I missed it, but hey, whatever!
Mainly, I'm in search for tips on what I need to look for when it comes to upgrading suspension, exhaust, general stuff. I have thoughts of a motor swap far in the future, but in the mean time, might as well make it handle as good as I can. So what can I get? Haven't seen much in the way of aftermarket parts for this in google and ebay searches.

Also, anyone done much upgrading to one of these and have some pics and pointers?

the ES250 is a great car, esp because it came avalible with the coveted 5spd V6 option
essentially an ES250 is a fully loaded camry with a dose of style thrown in...most of the parts cross over from ES to camry (still does with my 2003 ES), so any mods for a gen 2 V6 camry will fit the ES...

be sure to post pics!
i hope to get a classic ES250 to restore one day...i love that bodystyle for some reason

I need to get a pic posting photo site set up for myself, but I have pics. The car is a bit of a project, which I like! Once I start getting it as I want it, I'll have more to talk about, but so far, I am loving it. It has some giddyup, in comparison to my 91 Camry with the automatic 4 cyl.

I'm 6 ft, but it doesn't feel gangster leaned. It's just that the wheel doesn't tilt on this one.
