Non Solara Guy looking for Pics of Non-Stock Solaras

Hey Everyone,

I am considering trading in my Eddie Bauer Expedition for a Convertible Solara, but just cannot make up my mind on this yet. I'm an old man compared to most of you (36) and not into "tuning" (did that years ago with a Mustang GT), or even the Japanese market so to say, but Toyota does make a good product and the Solara vert looks like a better value than a Volvo C70 vert, and easier to "tune" should I want more HP.

I like the looks of the Solaras with the TRD body kits, better than just stock, and would also want to drop just a little (1 in maybe?) with larger wheels. Are there any web sites that any of you know of with pics of Solaras that have been changed with aftermarket parts?

thanks
xanadu

I think you can get more power from C70 because it has turbocharger already?
