hello, i'm from LA, CA and i just bought a '04 Lunar Mist Sport SE-V6 this past weekend. dont have any pix yet but i will post them once i get a chance. so far i'm suprised at how luxo it is...the ride is ultra-quiet and smooth, not something i was expecting when i was looking for a sports coupe...almost takes the fun out of driving :P

you can check out my other ride on my site, the solara pix will be up in a few weeks

yup, also have a tsx and i actively participate over at acura-tsx.com. these forums are awesome, find out more info/tips then the manufacturer sites.

purchased the solara because i was looking for a coupe to replace my aging 97 prelude, basically my criteria was V6, something sporty, for around 25k. saw pix of the solara with sport package and loved the ground effects kit. i feel the solara w/sport package handles very well...the only thing i didnt like was the solara kinda feels "tall"? so my only planned mods will be TRD springs and 18"s...if anyone knows of a groupbuy for the springs please PM me...thanks

Toyotas are great dependable cars, I think you'll be happy with it. Welcome.
Please stop humping my car, owner privilege!

thanks! that's the only mods i'm planning, the trd exhaust was too stand-outish for me plus i'll have to customize/purchase a new rear apron to make it fit. just the springs and rims for now but wont be for a few months or until a deal/groupbuy comes up

oh, and of course tints...prolly 35% smoked or metallic all-around

Gotta love Toyota

Glad you decided on a Toyota. I have had many, many cars and the best ones I've had were Toyotas and Lexus cars.

You will find these to be very reliable vehicles. Much better than the dumb jeep my wife drives because it is cute.

Thanks for the welcomes.

i'm really a honda fan but the new accord coupe didnt do anything for me. so far the solara is winning me over, even like the sienna over the odyssey :)
