Thanks you guys for all the comments. When it comes to speed bumps for the 2G DSM you should the crazy angles I have to go through. But, most of the roads here are not that bad and there are places I try to avoid with that car.

In the near future the Solara will have its TRD kit on, Black rims w/ red lip, and a drop. Once I have those on I'll take photos agian and post them in this thread. :drinking:

They look great on a black Lara. 8)

Don't worry Lee they will stay on a black Lara. 8)

Thanks Nando,
Just received and all I can say they look great. Did you do them yourself? Hopefully I can put them on tonight and will see what happens. I'm pretty sure cops here are not that strict and they're just lazy.

Here you go. TRD front are installed right now I'm waiting for the sides and back. Just the rear valence on makes a big difference. I know Renova grill is still Twilight Blue need to paint it. After that I'll remove the Solara Emblem and leave the Toyota Logo. Also, have to rock the Black Yoshi.

After. I buffed out the lights when I received them.

I missed out on the KCE HID's group buy but, I went ahead and contact Kenny if I can purchase these at the normal price. Bought the H4 Bi-Xenon(Hi/Lo Beam) 6000k 55w and 9006 - 3000k 35w. Dealing with Kenny was straight forward. Anyways received the Kits but unfortunately I got the H4 Bi-Xenon(Hi/Lo Beam) 6000k 35w instead of 55w. People make mistakes but I just went ahead with it and installed it. Not that Kenny is a bad person to deal with. He went ahead and refunded me amount difference. So, overall I was still a satisfied customer and will also do purchase from him again

The other day I took some photos of the installment Miss out on some parts but, here they are.
One of the ballast.
Image
The mounting brackets I made.
Image
Image
For the headlights I went a different route to mount them.
Driver side mounted within the fender.
Image
Image
Passenger side. I'm thinking about moving it to whats similar to the driver side.
Image
The Fogs ballast are mounted under the headlights. In the photo the brackets are not screwed in yet but you can see that it's just being held on its own.

Night results.

Thanks,
I tried to keep a stock appearance as much as possible and hide them. Bought the brackets at Lowes. All I had to do is hammer it to the right shape than paint them. Right now I don't really like where the passenger headlight ballast is. I was kind of disappointed with my friend because we was rushing and we had to go to work. So, we just mounted it there.

Thanks Jeremy,
That's your TRD Kit and Renova grill. It's slowy coming together. Waiting for more stuff to come in. Like the TSW Revo aka TRD rims. :sweet:

So you sold your Solara yet? Your Lara was rare because of its color.

Thanks Greg

Car was a little dirty.... never had the time to clean her up and snap more shots (dumb job). More photos will go up once the side and rear TRD goes on. I'm finally going to remove that decal on the rear window and replace it with a TRD Logo Decal just like the TRD Lara. I'm trying to replicate it for now and we will see how much I like the look.

Also, anyone have the center caps and retainers for these rims let me know. I did contact TSW but unfortunately there are discontinued. Sleeper I hope you got one... since you had alot of these rims you REVO whore...lol

Thanks, so far I see a lot of heads turning and asking me what kind of car is that (most of them reply... Is that an Accord/Lexus :roll: . Can't wait till I get it lowered and with the full kit on. Then it should turn heads like crazy (or maybe their just looking at their reflection :wink: ).

:gang: I did take more shots today. Debating if I should post it up and I finally removed that decal in the back. It was fun for while having it on. Now just need to make the TRD Logo to match with the theme.
