New Guy with all stock 2001 Solara Sle

Hello Solara guys and girls haha,
I just got myself a 2001 Solara Sle not that long ago. My last car, an Avalon, that I loved got hit on the freeway and totaled... sad sad day. I have always liked the solara's so took the opportunity to get one. I have been searching all over finding out little things I should do to the car. I know nothing, I know I am going to put some rims on it as well as a new suspension, an air intake (noticed they do not make a cold air just a ram air for it), change out the lights to some HID (fog and lamp), body kit (nothing crazy), as well as some mods to the motor and anything else. The car is bone stock!! nothing done to it at all. It has 105k miles, runs really good, the interior is flawless. It was well taken care of, but, I need help with at least the stuff I mentioned. Where would I get the stuff? What should i do first? What should I not do? Please any help would be appreciated.

Thank You,
David

Hello,
Any suggestions on an HID kit for my car? I do not want somehting that is a different color, maybe the diamond blue. What about fog lights? Should those be HID as well or will some LED bulbs be ok? I want Yellow.

Thanks in advance for the advice,

Cloverish

if you want blue i'd say at max go with 8000k (which is already too blue for me) and for yellow go with 3000k.
