Hey all. Just registered w/ SolaraGuy.org I'm a student on the East Coast who's interested in adding a few extras to my baby.

My baby is a '99 SLE V6 I came into over the summer. It's factory blue with a tan interior, and also my first car. It's stock everywhere except for the rims, which came with it. Previous owner said he got them from Sears or something. Regardless, 17" chrome rims that come with the car isn't a bad thing.

I have to say that it handles very nicely and has some power to it too. Considering I learned to drive on the family minivan, it feels really small.

All in all, I'm happy with it but feel like I could do a little more. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome! Glad to have you here. Post some pics if you have the time.

What kind of extras are you looking for? Performance / Show / Both?

A little bit of both. Looking for a good place to get Euro lights. Found the Rennsport grill on ebay to replace the stock one since the chrome is flaking and I didn't like its look anyway. Considering a RSB and Short Ram Intake. That's pretty much all I'd thought up so far

The RSB is a great mod. DO NOT get the ebay intake it will hurt your car and make less hp. Save and get a CPE intake. Check out my sig for pics and videos of almost all easy bolt ons for this car.

Welcome to Solaraguy. There is a lot of help here for you.
Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another very expensive flying club.
