Suggestions for modding an 03 Lexus ES300?
This is exactly what my car looks like:

It’s a great car on the inside, yet despite the fact that I do love the car, it’s one of the blandest things I’ve seen on the outside.
I was considering various options like repainting it and stuff, and I ranked all my options from least drastic to most drastic:
- tinting the windows
- replacing headlights with blue-tinted ones – I really like blue-ish headlights on vehicles, not super bright blue hid lights, but just regular halogens with a blue tint
- MAYBE darken the tail lights, “smoke” them out – I’ve always found this to look good on gray/silver vehicles along with tinted windows
More drastic modifications:
- put a small subtle body kit on it; a lip spoiler, a back end spoiler (not on top of the car, on the bottom) and side skirts. Something that would end up looking like this:

Maybe change the rims, though I doubt I’ll go this far. I love the way the BMW-style BBS rims look on this one, along with the same small body kit that was in the previous pictures:

And lastly, repainting the car black or dark blue would be great but I don’t think i’d have the money for that and it wouldn’t even seem worth it. I can make the gray color work.
Anyways, of all those choices, which do you think are acceptable and which do you think are pointless? Last thing I want to do is to make the car into a pathetic looking ricer. I just want to subtly improve its looks into something a little more … classy …
