Finnaly pics of my GOLD 2003! 56k Beware.

Well today was less cold out (think it’s like 15 degrees :/) so I decided to take some pictures.

My current upgrades are:
Kenwood X789
Kicker 400.1
Kicker Solo-Baric L5 (2 Ohm)
Gen 1 Taillights
Tomorrow I'm getting 20% Tints put on (cant wait)

Future upgrades:
Infinity Component speakers
Infinity 6x9's
Dynamat (In doors and trunk)
18 inch rims
New springs
Maybe a Sirius tuner
Maybe an AMP for the Infinity's

To some these pictures may seem large, but I prefer the higher res, so enjoy. I'll update this post tomorrow once I get my tints.

Looks good, the changes you have in mind will definitly make the car look a lot better. Have you thought about adding an oem spoiler to?

by **briantek** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 6:17 pm

Actually I have thought about getting a spoiler. How hard is that to DIY?

If you're getting infinity's, you will definitely need an amp, (check my sig). They are great speakers, but they are power hungry! Get an iPod instead of the sattelite radio too, you'll be happier.

it involves drilling so you might not want to do it yourself, depending on how good you are in that department. i for one wouldnt trust myself.
a spoiler would look nice though.

Looks good man.
I have a Kicker L5 4 ohm.
They are good subs.

Ok heres the tint! Damn the car looks so much better.. too bad the roads suck today cuz of the snow, not going out tonight

tint looks real good! looks like they did a good job on the rear window dot matrix. did they do anything in particular?

No idea.. But they did take about 5 hours. I believe the brand they used was Sun Guard.

yeah the person that did mine took about 4-5 hours on it. i had it done with 20 upfront and 5 in the rear, so maybe with the darker tint in the back the dot matrix shows up more. it bothers me so i may have it re-done this spring. we'll see. check out my cardomain, the pix arnt great but in one of the pix you can kind of see what im talking about.

Haha that's funny, all the other cars got pWnt by snow, and yours is just chillin.

Good lookin. Nobody that I can think (unless I'm just having ahuge mind blank) of has a serious gold Solara, you should step up and fix that, you're on the right path.
