Looks great. On another note, I find it odd that our turn signals stay beautiful, while our headlights turn yellow and nasty. Ish is bananas.

i was waiting for this question...well i didnt want to spend $3,000 plus so i said F#$% it im going to give Maaco a try again but this time i will pay for the SIGNATURE paint job. which is there top of the line paint. They use Urethane and not cheap enamel paint. cost me only $1960.00 exactly


all my door jambs, inside trunk, inside hood are painted as well...i recommend the Signature package

It looks good, but that drop will help complete the look. Only things I would change would be to re-center the license plate, but that's just me. What tow hook do you have on there? haha

I would jsut run 225-40-18's on them and camber it a little bit. These wheel do look awesome on the Solara tho. I say keep them.
