so tell me what u guyz think

you have a lot to do to get that into the vip style category...starting with returning it to stock. after you start over, get some rims and your suspension set up so it will get nice and low. Once you get to that point, it will look awesome. there's a user on here, gato, who used to have a windom, same as yours iirc. he might chime in on here, or you can pm him and he'll give you his insight on the car.

wow, thats some major 4x4 action dood.  it doesnt look too bad.  but with that kit on, you'll need like 22's or something for an aggressive stance.  thats why i ordered the AC kit, nice,clean, elegant, subtle.  btw, AC kits are so awesome, by looking at the sc430 kit they shipped me, its quality.
well, hope to have mine done soon.

& new Set of wheels.
I think Jp Scaras would look Dope. :cool:

not too bad if you weren't going VIP

Very sporty,  Boosty.Vip - good call on the AutoCouture kit, it's very classy.
The undersized Konigs def. need to scram!

IMHO, you dont need to go wider with fenders, as this is a fwd vehicle.  you just need to get the right size wheel and offset.  i have a set of 19*9 with 75mm/3" lip all around coming for my car.  air ride is dope, i wanna do air, but have ksports on now.
and that kit right there is the AutoCouture kit that is coming for my car as well with fogs.

Although I don't like the way it looks right now, I like the feedback about how you can better style the car from the other members. I'm sure your car will come together soon! You are on the right track.

btw, don't waste effort on widefenders.. concentrate on wheel fitment. In most cases will go along way. Go through this forum, you'll begin to understand. Fitment over Girth.

I rather See a Wheel and the Tires kissing the fender than going Wide on the Es300.

YES! That's the idea.. =)

Fitment over Girth. WTF is that i dont even know what that shit means... im so confused :-( ok no on the fenders but anyone know how easy to set up air ride for the es

[QUOTE=VIPWindom;39272]Fitment over Girth. WTF is that i dont even know what that shit means... im so confused :-( ok no on the fenders but anyone know how easy to set up air ride for the es[/QUOTE]


girth=width in this case.  Honestly i think the stock dimensions should give you enough room unless you plan to drag race it.  air ride i dont know about but i can already see your es with some nice full face wheels.

btw is your suspension stock? I only ask because the back is much lower than the front.

canover now makes an air suspension setup for the mcv20.. i wish they had it when i had my es300 :(

[QUOTE=HoeBag;39661]canover now makes an air suspension setup for the mcv20.. i wish they had it when i had my es300 :([/QUOTE]

HoeBag does canover happen to have a website or an authorized dealer?

Might want to do a bit of research before jumping into the vip thing. I didnt go around asking because i didnt want to look like a noob nor does anyone really wanna keep answering the same questions over again.

Your kit is very um sporty and your wheels and drop just arent doin it for me at the moment.

Hope it goes well for you, lookin forward to progress pix

[QUOTE=HoeBag;39661]canover now makes an air suspension setup for the mcv20.. i wish they had it when i had my es300 :([/QUOTE]

Try , Hitting up TLontheDL, ask him for his friend that got the canover from Din (who ever that is), maybe they can hook you up.

Or how bout BoldWorld? if they do have it for The ES, which i doubt
:cool:  [url]http://www.boldworld.co.jp/index1.html[/url]

charley, you should post some pics of your car to show him what he needs to do.

Lets work on the suspension and fitment first. You don't always have to get air suspension. There is another option which is coilovers. Also lets not jump into things so quickly, stay on the board and do some research. Member "Gato" used to have an ES so PM him.

^^ looks arrite... 

definitely not VIP, but its a good start!

I'm thinking of this bumper Behrman Type 2 Aero for my 97 ES300 . Any comments Im not sure if it's to much or if clean enough for vip style. Also does anyone know where I can buy chrome Windom emblems?

Is the Auto Couture a full front bumper or is it just the front lip?

HERE IS A FINE EXAMPLE

thanks dbltakegs3
yes, the autocouture is a full bumper replacement. i just got done redoing the whole front end suspension. so ill take some more pics, because my stance at the front is a bit more aggressive than before.

Nice. The AC kit is the best kit for the ES/Windom IMO. I'm trying to get one for mine for this spring :biggthumpup:
