OK I have a 2000 pearl white solara
I have on it...
Injen short ram intake
Cat back magnaflow exhaust with 2 inch pipes
12"inch crossfires
And the TRD lip kit and new front bumper should be installed by the end of this week or beginning of next

My future plans include:
50 shot ZEX dry nitrous kit
with Dual purge system
Subwoofer wall with the "solara" logo at the top and a huge toyota symbol that lights up...made outta plexi glass and everything is smoked black except the solara and toyota symbol

I was going to change my PURPLE NEONS to WHITE
Would this look more elligant?
My friend thinks it would and he hates tuner type stuff

i wouldn't say it'd be more elegant but honestly man.. it would look better than purple
people say neons are rice but then again plenty members here have them on their cars.
it's all about personal taste and whatnot. if you think white looks better than I'd say without question go for it!
Lucky for you you have this money from graduation and all that..
Do you plan on doing all this work yourself? or having friends and/or shop do it?
doing it yourself would not only teach you the trial-and-error side of life..
but also you can learn!!
Lol I know firsthand about messing up stuff on my car :drinking:
might I add, if you have some money left over, extend the sri into a Cold Air.. cuz to me the sri is pretty much just for looks/sound, the cai would be a lil more ... reasonable. or even if better, invest in a cp-e.

sidenote.. if i were you though, in just giving my .02. i think instead of the sound, i'd go with lowering the car, and rims. then with your trd kit you already have, id install that, then put some light tint on there.. then go from there...

let me know what you think.

good luck with the mods man, just do what make you happy.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

I also agree...however, if you're dead set on getting neons, white is the only way to go.
