welcome!
do us and yourself a favor and dont change the tails (im assuming you want altezzas) you wont find anything that looks better than the gen1's.
you wont find a body kit that looks good on our cars unless you want the trd lip kit which i believe someone has a brand new one for sale on here. check the gen1-1.5 for sale section.
rims are good but dont forget to lower your suspension!
this is all my opinion. welcome aboard!

1. stock gen 1 tails just seem to look better imo.
2. it's a little ricey
3. it's gay.



save your money. buy an intake instead of altezzas or something.

but to each his own.


oh yeah, and welcome.

do what you want but they dont look good on any car and theyre cheaply made. if you get them make sure you seal them yourself so you dont get condensation in them.
the stock ones in my opinion looks awesome and clean.
let me ask you this, would you put altezza style tail lights on a benz? or bimmer? or lexus (excluding the altezza and IS)? etc...
then why would you on the solara? not saying the solara is a mercedes but why cheapen the appearance of your car? you should be doing the opposite.
i feel the same way about stickers.
do what woa_its_j3ff said and save your money for those rims or an intake or suspension.

not to mention whenever i see a car with altezzas the first thing i think is the car must be a piece of junk and/or the person has no taste.

except most if not all body mods cost a crapload more than just the price of altezzas.

I call them Shitezza lights. IMO, if you get those lights, people will automatically think you are a ricer, just like them Shitvics out there.

putting altezzas (they are the ford fiesta of tail lights) on the solara makes about as much sense as a poopy flavored lollipop. keep it simple, clean, and basic. nice to have you here.

Welcome :D

Are you looking to just put HID bulbs, or looking for a retrofit? I got my retrofitted, but it'll cost you!
