The quest for a unique car. My 2001 Lexus ES300

[dumped_es300]

I finally decided to start a build thread.

Basically, a little under 2 years ago my aunt bought this.


Nice, right?

About 2 months later...this happened.


Soon after we decided to sell the car, but being a car with SUPER low miles...it was hard because it was much more expensive than others like it. It was on the market for about a year! Then what we thought was a serious buyer made a deposit! and had us have some things fixed so he could finance the car..he backed out last minute and cried over his $100 deposit.

Now we decided to keep the car, and i have a few more months until i can call it my own. But im still going to get some stuff done...

Heres my plans..
Air suspension
VIP Interior goodies (tables, pillows, etc.)
Vinyl wrap....(color change, black brushed aluminum emblems)
some nice wheels! im still looking around.
I'll probably do more stuff as i go along, but im excited for the future with this car!

nice.
there's a slammed es300 around Cal Poly Pomona that changed my mind about these cars. maybe you'll run into him as some lexus meet or forum. i've never meet the guy but I see his car at school.

Did some photoshop renders....

I decided on not wrapping it, the beige is growing on me for some odd reason.

Still havent decided on wheels!!!


Heres the render, i made a custom front lip! and tinted the rear windows, did yellow fogs, blacked out the front grilles, and lowered it...on stock wheels...meh.

I love how these cars look. If they were rear-wheel drive and not a camry I would own one.

[dumped_es300]

Did some more photoshopping to check out some ideas i had for wheels!

They were rough and quick photoshops but you get the idea..


Salad Shooters


Kia Optima Stocks


Rota Grids


BBS LM's

Let me know what ya think!!!

[justaneffer]

you forgot ssr vienna's...

[Dylanhat]

Just don't do the Kia Optima stocks, IMO they look like hell. The LM's would be nice.

[axelillo_PR]

You didnt shop any any wheels

Gonna be a sweet car, i'd like to do an es300 front end conversion on my camry some time

[scweet14]

i forgot to write reps next to bbs lm...im cheap. lawl. i will be getting legit wheels later on, for now i might just leave it on stocks and get my suspension sorted out

There are a few fitted ES300s around.

Don't do reps!

Get an OEM alternative until real wheels permits. Car looks to nice to run reps.
