My name is Jabari Piper. I'm 18 years old.
I have a 2000 Solara. My summer project is to make this thing sexy and shut everyone up who's laughed at me and said "Solara?" Any advice would be very nice. Thanks

Hey new guy!

Just show them a few pics of the members on this board, that'll be enough. If not, then just laugh at them and say "civic?" or "accord?"

do what I did. :D
i went from rice to nice.
check out my cardomain to see the progress.
www.cardomain.com/id/projectlunar

my suggestions are:

exterior:
hids
tint
shave emblems
renova grille
kit
rims
black housings
----------
engine:
catback exhaust (JPP or trd muffler)
injen intake or better yet CPE intake
supecharge it or turbo even if you have the money
----------
suspension:
TRD rear sway bar
lowering (coilovers or spring/struts)
MAYBE a front strut bar
----------


yeah thatsj ust off the top of my head

be prepared to be frustrated, and spending lots of money and time. this isn't a civic. parts are uber rare or expensive.




peaaaaace


oh welcome.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

Welcome. For me, laughing stopped after I dropped and put 18'' wheels on her. And I just got my ride less than 3 months ago, but I got to work on her pretty quick. A V6 manual tranny helps too. :P

Sped up progress pics. If you have myspace :(

Hello and welcome.

Good luck with your project. It may be a little more difficult to mod than a civic or Accord because there isn't as much aftermarket support for the Solara, but you'll find that the Solara is a much better car than the Hondas. You won't regret it.
