Any grill or aero parts available for Gen 2?

Are there any grill or aero parts for Gen 2 Solara?

I am hoping I could replace the big Toyota signed fron grill and maybe some body spoiler all around. Will the SE aero kit works with SLE? Where can I get it?

any aftermarket kit?

Which dealer sells the aero kit for $2000? The last thread on the subject ended up concluding the aero kit wasn't still available to buy unless you got a convertible, ordered it as an option, and then it would be installed at the dock. I've bugged dealers and got nowhere. Some people have gotten them from Ebay only.

There are a few different grills available for the Gen2, just search and you will find them...

The sad thing is I was looking at the windw sticker for one of my co-worker's SLE convertible and on the sticker the aero kit is only $669! WTF is that??!! Wouldn't it be nice if we could get it installed for that price I would even pay $1000 to have it painted and installed... No way I'm paying $2000 for a bare kit that still has to be painted and installed...

but holy cow, $2k is a lot of money for the kit

The $2000 is painted... and it is VERY easy to install... if you can change your oil you can install the kit...

No way is it easy to install. I dont think Removing the front and rear bumper covers and cutting slits in them and lining everything up straight is the same as changing oil. Be ready to pay a shop to do the install. I only paid about $200- $250 to have it done and it was worth every penny.

I dont know why its so hard for so many to understand how to get the kit. I called a local body shop, told them I had a 04 Solara SE V6 sport, told them the aero kit was damaged. They ordered a kit for me and are painting it right now. Little do they know that I actually have an sle. Should be installed in 2 weeks (after I get back from a bunch of work training and meetings). OTD i'm paying 1450 painted and installed.

SO who is installing it? They won't know you have an SLE when they see your car?
