My 2000 Solara SLE is silver and pretty much all stock. The more I see these ones with TRD kits the more I'm wanting ones. After searching the internet for a few hours I came to the conclusion that getting that OEM kit was too difficult to find. Saw the Kaminari thread and probably go with that one. From what anyone has seen, will the kit look okay on the car with the stock rims and not being lowered? Or without one of them would it not be worth it? Any pics you could post I'd really appreciate. Thanks much.

The TRD kit makes the car look much better. Lowered, w/rims or not.

1) yes... like solarafreak said the kit makes the car look better stock or not
2) yes... its still worth getting the kit even if you are not lowered or have rims... you can always do either one or both of those things later..

I'd be able to give you an opinion much more readily if you were to post a link to an installed body kit.

On another note, don't skimp on the installation. Body prep work, which is the most expensive, makes the biggest difference long-term.

I'd definitely go ahead and get the kit first. For one thing, their hard to find now, plus it will look way better than stock (like everyone else said). But once you put the kit on, your gonna want to lower it and put rims on, but at least those parts won't be hard to find.
