Welcome! 7 grand is just a little bit above the price I would pay because the mileage is a little bit high. But nonetheless, you got yourself a very reliable car! We got members with 300k+ miles;)

Welcome! Enjoy your SG experience man, theres plenty of us here to help and bounce ideas off of. From what I've seen around the forum and such, most the guys are from Cali.

Thanks a lot guys!

Looking at a lot of the Solara pics, I'm getting a lot of great ideas. I'm thinking about converting my rear tail lights to the 1st gen rear lights, I just think the 1st gen looks way better. Also thinking about the Kaminari lip kit all around but do you guys know if it comes painted? And for lowering the car, if I didn't care about performance and such, should I just go with the shocks or are the coilovers worth going for?

I try to post topics about what I'm planning to get in the other sections, but for some reason it isn't going through so excuse me if you guys can. Thanks for the help guys!

yeahh socal guys are a little more active than us norcal guys. I went to a meet my first week joining this forum and have yet to see another SG meet up here after that. I've even made a drive down to socal just to meet some of these guys. Keep in mind our solaras are a dying breed but you can also check on TN (Toyota Nation) for collective Toyota meets.
