Just traded in my 95 integra for this 99 solara. New to solara, looking for ideas, i want to make it stand out! But cant really find anything to do to it. Do they sell anything like a CF lip or somthin like that? Also proformace parts what brand should i go with when buying my intake or exhaust? HELP I want to make this thing look intimidating! I know this thing is fast, well at least a big step up from my integra just want to make it an an eye catcher like my teg was. Please comment throw out ideas, anything welcome good or bad.

BYE BYE INTEGRA

Welcome and enjoy the upgrade I race my friends bolt on 98 GSR all the time and win almost always.

As fas as intakes on the V6 only the CPE and injen are good and tested on the board. Stay away from the EBAY brand intake it will make you lose power.

Exhaust Greddy evo is popular but it had that fart cannon look. TRD mufflers are very popular but custom is very popular around here. You just stepped from unlimited after market to near zero after market support. The OBX exhaust on ebay is an unknown right now I am the first to order one and I have not put it on yet. I will be testing it vs my TRD muffler and custom 2.5 inch piping.

If you want to make it look good you should start looking into the TRD body kit it really helps.

Finally here is a list of after market gen 1 parts.

One Of Us! One Of Us! One Of Us! Welcome to the forum. I'm kinda new myself but one thing I've learned is that it dosen't take much to make a Lara stand out. They're in a class all their own. Check out this link for a good start.
