Which Body Kit Do You Think I Should Install?

I'm considering to install a body kit on my Solara, but the thing is I could decide whether to go with the TRD Body Kit or the Revolution Body Kit?

I prefer the Revolution Body Kit Front Bumper to the TRD Front Bumper, but the Revolution rear bumper looks weird.

That depends on what your taste is and what you want. The Revolution is much more aggresive but you'll probably find it is much more fragile as well. The TRD is very high quality, flexible parts and paint will provide a great look for a long time. I do wish the front end was a bit more aggressive though. I chose to go with TRD. -JoeB

TRD is the way to go... but if you're doing this to be different... then that may be your choice. Everyone mods their car for different reasons... to make it look better, or to be different, and a few other reasons too... I'm sure.

Most aftermarket kits are made of cheap fiberglass... which cracks if you scrape it or bump into stuff. The TRD kit is polyurethane... however you spell it, so scratches will happen and maybe small dents, but it's a lot less likely to crack. Plus the TRD looks new if you get it repainted

i cant remmber whose car it was.. but sum1 had a trd kit.. but the front was real nice...

like the front had that bar that goes across the middle of the fender taken out, along with their fogs gone..... it wasnt a very high quality job but the potential of the look was real appealing..... i just cant remember whose car that was.......
