my fault, wasn't even thinkin.

Its a 2000 SE V6 Black exterior, black cloth interior. Leather's nice..but too damn hot. Power seats, sunroof all that. I just finished putting a Viper 5000 Alarm on there ( it didn't have one), its real nice!
Alpine Head Unit ( http://www.alpine-usa.com/en/products/product.php?model=CDA-9856)
The factory headunit decided to stop working, so i had to.

I also just finished running the wires for a AudioBahn 800watt amp, and two dual voice coil subs. It takes up too much trunk space. I'm thinking of going with a kicker just 1 10" or 12", due to less space consumtion. I will have to get pictures to you all tomorrow. My bad. Thanks for the quick reply.

Simple upgrades first:
-Intake
-Wheels (17" Racing Hart Evo C2* wheels)
-Short Shifter
-Front Sway Bars

Later:
-TRD Body Kit
-Suspension (would like coilovers, but Tein doesn't offer the Basic Coilover for the Solara, so i'd have to do the Super Street which is some $1300 that I don't have. So sleeve overs and new shocks might have to do the trick.

Any suggestions on currnt setups that they have tried and liked or not liked. Please feel free to let me know. Don't feel obligated by any means. Or current sites where I can get stuff for the 2000 Solara, TRD stuff and or aftermarket would be awesome. I've been searching and haven't found anything, before I ask formally, but if it doesn't annoy anyone too much...just let me know.

welcome. the trd kit can be tricky to find but every once in a while someone will sell one on here so check the gen1 for-sale section often. same go's for pretty much all trd parts for this car.

Welcome Tyler! Look forward to some pics of your new ride. Very fine choice.

Definately jump on any TRD kits you can find. Don't just wait for a black kit. Have it painted. Odds are someone here will have one for sale at some point. EBay is always a good source of course. (Check often)

Thanks for the quick replies. Freaked out, what's ur suspension set up, I like the ride height on that. Good tip on TRD kits, that what i was planning to do, like you mentioned. I have no problem sanding the kit down and spraying it. Thanks again guys.

Tyler

P.S

I will get pics up of interior (HU) and exterior for you all tomorrow.

Thanks. I checked EBay and didn't see anything. I think Mark (Krawzyazn) might have something in his inventory. He is SolaraGuy's version of EBay. You might want to PM him.

My ride: Pretty much what I have in the sig, TRD springs drop it about 1.5". It's a good ride height for daily driving. The Teins will drop it further and have a much better look in my opinion. But I'd wager the Detroit area roads would beat it to heck. Check my CD webpage for more pics and a few from various SG events.

Hey dude, welcome to the site. Where in Northern VA are you? I'm in Burke, bordering Fairfax and Springfield... We should meet up some time!

Northern VA is finally getting repped on here, we're up to near 10 people :-P

Peace,
