Pretty self-explanatory, just want a set, preferably with no cracks or very minimal damage. I'm based in the LA area, if that makes any difference. Color is not a problem, Albertrd can easily solve that for me

Still in pursuit of a set. If you have any or know of any leads to them, lmk.

sorry i havent gotten back to you yet, but i havent gotten my car/kit painted yet. it would be nice if i got it done already, but weather has been crap lately over here.
my set is in fair condition, but one side has primer all over it because my dad decided to primer the whole one side of my car...
ill let you know as soon as i get everything sorted out if you dont acquire a set by then.

I have yet to see a very at any of the junkyards out here. I'm tempted to ask one of the Toyota-specific wreckers, but I'll wait it out for Solarasian in the meantime

You know that they aren't special for the ragtop, right? Gen 1 convertibles were a post factory chop. You should be able to take from any Solara of the age.

That's just it Mike, they weren't on the coupes. ASC or whoever did the ragtop conversions made the rocker panel extensions to cover up the extra chassis reinforcement they implemented as a result of deleting the roof.
They are more subtle and sit thinner/higher than the Molly Designs/TRD skirts, which works perfect for me, my ***** front lip, and the fact that my car is already lowered 3" or so.
I've often thought of robbing some hapless parked convertible, but don't feel like being someone's holding cell bitch lol

hang in there. im trying to get them off and put the trd's on. and an update on the condition. its now painted black sand pearl. i got my whole car painted. they messed up on my kaminari skirts though... it was a cheap paint.
i get what i pay for huh? i think i could just sand is and polish it though. theres just a glob thats sitting on the side of the skirt.

Cool, Andy. Yeah, I will never cheap out on painting ever again. A crappy insurance-referred shop painted my front end some years ago, and my hood had clearcoat that started flaking like eczema only a couple of years after. Albertrd repainted/updated my front end in early '08, and the paint has seen hell and still holds up
