New solara owner

[lifelesslived17]

Just wanted to say hello and thank you all for putting together such a nice website. lots of information here and seems to be much more grown up than some other threads I've been on.

Just bought the wife an 04 solara se, and we both love it! Bought it because its sexy, reliable and doesnt get 12 mpg like my durango. anyways, off to finde some bumper fangs!!!!

dayummm good luck with that. those fangs can cost a pretty penny (and by pretty i mean it's gotta be damn pretty). regardless, welcome to the forums.

So if the fangs are so hard to find AND so expensive, why has no one made a reproduction unit? there small enough that it would be fairly easy to reproduce in urethane. how has this not happened yet?!

It seems as if there really is no market for us gen2ers. Your best bet would be a junk yard. Welcome to SG!

Yeah our cars have such a limited target audience being that it's sedan sized, and there's a near identical version with 4 doors (Camry) that steals a lot of its potential customers because of practicality. It's obvious that the Solara is better looking though. With the limited market, and such a small percent of that market being into customizing there would be no profit in reproducing this lip kit. Sucks, but it's reality. The benefit is that when we do modify these cars people don't recognize them. They are more unique and interest more people because of curiosity. I would imagine that if we completely debadged our laras that people would mistake them for a lexus, or not know what kind of car it is at all. Anyways, welcome aboard and good luck finding your fangs. It's not impossible and like GZ said, your best bet is keeping a close eye on your local junkyards. While you're at it keep an eye out for some LED tails from an 07 for me, haha. JK.
