Hey Guys, my name is Teddy and I just stumbled onto this site after trying to find out how to take out my interior door panels via google. I'm running an '02 silver solara with '04 oem rims, pioneer head unit, alpine subs and sony speaker components all around.

I have a few things I'm planning to do including
TRD muffler (already have)
RSB (already have)
Vinyl overlay on wood trim in brushed aluminum
Brushed aluminum gauge bezel
Reverse glow gauges (already have)

I also have a set of eibach springs that I'm still debating to put in.

In any case, I'm excited to join this community!

Hey and welcome!

If you have the springs only I'd recommend holding off until you get a nice pair of aftermarket struts to go along with it. That way if sometime down the road you decide you want an even better handling car you don't have to to tear down half of the car again to install the struts too!

Welcome, Teddy. We're never "late" until we are dead. Then we are called "the late so and so." :D I hope you like it here. It's a pretty nice place to show your stuff, ask questions, and give and get answers.

Wow! That looks great! I may take you up on that. I wonder though, how much heat does that thing take? I only ask because it might be kinda cool if I made some kind of plexiglass TRD logo to give the cover that raised look.

Cartang's cover looks really sweet with his matching brushed aluminum air ram.
