Ground Effects kit installed at factory?

[PXLpainter]

Okay - so I know I could have special ordered my SLE with a GE package but the dealer won't order/install one after I've driven the thing off the lot. I can't order one through parts dept either so where do I get it if I want one now?

Bummer as it's less than a $500 option new - I know it'll be at least 3 X that pinted and installed now. Sux.

Good luck finding one, a lot of people here have tried to buy it after the purchase of the car have had no luck, or found it at a price of $1K.

Crap. Was afraid of that. Most of the aftermarket kits I've seen look really over the top and ricey IMO. Ack.

Maybe I'll check with a body shop and see if they can get "replacement parts" for them???

Thanks for your input - Jeff

That sux that you cant purchase the ground effects kit from Toyota. Next best thing would be dropping the car and getting some nice aftermarket rims/tires.

Or, look for someone who is willing to part with their kit.

Goodluck!

Well - after seeing "mikei's" ride, I think I wanna just dump it a couple inches and put those little mud flaps on and get some sweet rims now.

I parked next to an '05 SLE Coupe last night - Lunar Mist like mine, and they had the GE package. After looking at the car, I really think that when its lowered that dramatically (2+" instead of 1-1/2") I like the lines with thos little accents better. Just my personal pref now... but maybe I've just given up on the GEs anyway...

What I'd really like is a Super Charger anyway and not sure if/when TRD is going to put one out. Hmmm...

[WTF??]

daamm $1k is cheap! When Molly Designs had kits for the Gen 1 - 1.5, the TRD kits ran at least 1400 with shipping and tax... after molly designs fell, random ppl had the Gen 1.5 for cheap... nowadays ud be lucky to find anything

Yeah, I remember those days. I gave up getting one cuz I was still in college and couldnt afford it.

I was pretty surprised to see how cheap it is now for the Gen2, but then again it seems very hard to get unless you already got it with a SE Sport.

really? i dont think toyota gives the SLE coupe the option of having the GE package. I think thats only for the convertible.

$1K is pretty cheap if you can find it.

You may be right - it might have been an SE Coupe with the sport package instead. It was dark and I didn't check the badging on the trunk. I was just excited to see one in person the same color and wheels as mine to compare.

When i was in Cali I saw an SLE with a body kit.

Trust me, I did a double take too.

If you have a 4 cyl, you may be able to install the TRD Supercharger for the tC.

somebody gotta make a good quality after market replica of the OEM GE kit

(or a different style that looks good :p )

I just found this site that makes body kits.
http://www.vizages.com/
They seem to be some nice lokking body kits. They don't seem to make one for the Solara, but they have them for the Camry. I emailed them to start up some intrest with the Solara's. I told them about the people on this site.
Email them, so that, possibly, they end up making one for our car.

Thanks for the link...

Sent them a request - they have a nice agressive look to their styling without being corny like the other ones I've seen so far...
