HAH, nice jeff.

body styling = trd kit...most other generic body kits look pretty tacky on solara's. there are a few lara's here that have done some generic body kits, and had it look decent, but it's not common (i believe astro w/ his gen 1.5 frontend conversion+black widow kit is one, and another that comes to mind is i20solara20i (i think) and his widebody kit, and maybe s15lara....)

rusty wheels? are you talking about the rotor? i wouldn't recommend painting the rotor (if that's what you're talking about), as it will wear off pretty quickly when braking. if you want to paint the calipers, that's not too hard, check the tutorial section if you want to Do It Yourself. otherwise i haven't a clue what part you're talking about wanting to paint.

there have been sightings of solara's with big spoilers on the back....that's another way to accent the exterior...though most people on here would probably suggest sticking to the subtler OEM lip-style spoiler, rather than a huge wing.

but, overall (in no particular order), tint, suspension lowering, wheels, audio system, debadge your emblems (check the tutorial section for that DIY)

as far as shine on the car...lots of ppl here use meguires or mothers brand wax/wash stuff. i personally use meguires gold class wax, mothers clay bar, and regular carwash soap. for the tires i use eagle (or someones) brand of tire wet, which keeps the wheels looking shiny for a couple days after being cleaned.

welcome to SG.org, familiarize yourself with the various forums here, as many of the questions regarding our cars have already been answered at least once. if you can't find it through regular browing, then use the search function up top...like jeff suggested ...also, there's a sticky under the gen 1/1.5 aftermarket upgrades which has a listing of aftermarket parts for our rides...including struts/springs for suspension, intakes, exhausts, etc.
