I want to take a beat-up gen 2 Sienna, paint it silver above the beltline and satin black below, drop it 2.5” on Lexus F-sport wheels, add ez-lip all around, do some light air mods, and have a badass daily/hauler

go for the Gen 2.5 as those are less awkward and you can get them with OEM HID headlights.

With only a 2.5” drop, I don’t see why not.

I prefer the way the 2 looks when you dremel out the mesh and the bar between the upper and middle grille.

Why not just get a Camry in that case?

Because sliding doors, fold flat third row, and a hatch.

But whyyyyyyyy?

If you don’t have children, or a business then why a Sienna? There’s much more fun cars than a minivan. Save those for later in live :P

I just bought one of these. I want to drop it and give it another set of wheels, at least.

I think Detroit spring will be able to make a set.

Funny you mention that, I hate the grille on ours and have been thinking of doing that.

Because it’s reasonably quick (0-60 in 6.7) and will be used for schlepping stuff across town.

I’ve seen a couple of bagged SE models. Bagged and static vans are cool.

I can try and do a quick shop for you if you want.

Still, how often would you actually use it for that?

Think of when people buy pickup trucks for those five days a year they go to Home Depot and Ikea.

Get a pickup or something lol.

I’d actually use the people and stuff hauling capacity all the time.

Say you need to schlep stuff across town for a friend.

They’re about as fun as mild Alzheimer's.

Also, Sienna sliding doors freeze shut easily in cold weather.

Do it on a day with a chance of rain, and say that the cargo must stay dry at all times.
