Looks sweet. Nice and clean. What did it cost you to remove the keyhole in the trunk lid?

Nice, I like the kit and set-up..

BTW what happen to the front bumper???

Very, very nice looking. I like the clean grilles and fogs (any technical reason, or just asthetic?) I thought it would look worse being kitted but not lowered, but actually it doesnt look all that bad. When ya get the time/money, put some rims on that car!

Great job. Keep it up!

Yeah it looks good with kit and no drop, I like it, I wish I had the $$$ to fix up my car the way you did. Just get some nice 18's and fix the front bumper damage and you'll be stylin (not like you already arent) :wink:

who made that grill for u??? car looks great, i got my key hole removed as well for about $75, how much did you pay? you really need some 18s on there when you get the money, dont get 17s because they are too small for our cars, way to represent, lataz

I gotta admit I like his grill too!! Hey could you get close up pics??

but about the rims, if he lives an area with crappy roads... 18s will get f-ed up quick so its a waste of money

my 2 cents

looks good.....looks good without the foglights there....the 99-02 solara foglights r kinda big..anyways....if ur gonna get rims..i say go with 17's....with the kit and the car low should be good....18's and up i think r just not good for most roads....especially out here..in ca....

hey guys...thanks for the compliments. the paint chips are actually worse in person than pictured. it's kinda funny. my license plate spells out "you can't drive", but i accidentally nudged this lady in front of me. she wasn't too worried about it cuz i had the bad half of it. anyway, my boy who's a body guy did all the work. in the pictures and from a distance in person, it looks pretty damn clean. but once you get up close and personal, it's a different story. yeah, my boy didn't put in 100% of his efforts cuz he was kinda rushing. but overall, i think it looks good. it's different, ya know? as for the grille, all he did was cut out the original piece and slapped on some mesh. the mesh is actually spray painted black. you can see some parts are fading and some of the paint's chipped. anf as for my shaved trunk key hole, i dunno how much it cost actually. i did the front bumper and the back at the same time. he just added it all up and wrote down one price. so i'm not too sure how much he charged me. i'm sure he didn't charge me a lot. oh yeah, my car is lowered with eibach springs w/tokico struts. i guess the oem wheels throw the look a little off. oh yeah, i know i need to slap some more 3m stuff on the rear passenger side valance. i've just been really lazy lately. i'm actually not gonna put any rims on at all. sorry guys. but i've decided (being the indecisive person that i am) to give the car to my dad with all the stuff on there. i've spent so much freakin' money on the car that i'd be wasting so much just uninstalling and reselling all the aftermarket stuff. i love the car, but my dad's old legend doesn't have a/c and is hella expensive to maintain. so i'm just gonna get myself a little beater until i'm done w/school. anyway, gotta get going. anymore questions, just keep posting. later.

I live in Los Angeles, roads dont give me any problems at all and I have 18's. Our roads are better than most other states, we dont get rain, snow, or flood much...SoCal roads are in good condition IMO.
