Hey guys, My first time being a member of the site but have read it for awhile. I'm only 17 and not very experienced but am looking for good advice to get the Solara that I have always wanted. Any ideas where to start? :wink:

Alright, I got the car today. It's a 2002 but only a 4cylinder. I probably shoulda got the V6 but whatever. I've been thinking about it and I want to start with appearance. First I want a BodyKit, a really stylish one. Where in the world can I look for one? Any websites? Stores? Then I want to go with rims. My cars red, so I was thinking of going with a black rim? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hey take a look in the Gen 1-1.5 After Market section. Lots of good info there.

Welcome to the site. Before you venture too much investing into you recently acquired car (bodykit+rims), may i suggest you lurke and use the search button for a few weeks. Sometimes people are too deep into modifying their own cars to realise thats not the car see themselves driving in the long run.
