Hello everyone, here is my Solara so far. I recently added HIDs to the headlights and planning to do the same for the fogs soon. Also recently got the TRD exhaust on there and loving my car so far! Maybe some more mods in the near future! :D

Thanks! Next up is either the intake or the suspension, thinking about the Tein/Tokico setup or if I find out more info from the other coilovers out there and just save up for that.

looks like something splattered on your license plate ;]
jk
you should box wherever you needed censored and filter it out with pixel effects instead of swirling it like that, trips me out whenever I look at it!
but nice work so far!
you might have some trouble with the fogs because you might need to reverse the polarity on the female connector!

Right now I have some 17" wheels the previous owner had on, not sure on the specs really. I have to change that later. Also I am trying to find out more info on those ksports, but I am just taking my time since this is just my daily driver. The lip kit looks nice and I will work on getting that afterwards as well.

I like the sound of the exhaust so far, it's not quiet as before. It's not as loud as my little brother's WRX, which is good for me to not draw unwanted attention. My mom heard it and was like "what did you do to your car now, trying to be like your little brother or what" lol.

So suspension, Injen intake or cp-e if I can find one used on here one day, HID fogs, lip kit, and also need to fix the tint since there are some bubbles that's been bugging me.

Haha I will do that next time, was playing around with photobucket's editing since I don't really do much photo editing on my own.

Recent shots from this past week from sunny California! Waited for the rainy weather from last weekend to go away before I gave my Lara a wash and wax...

Planning to get some Tokico/Teins, Megans, or K-Sports pretty soon, but hoping to get a hold of one of the TRD kits for sale on there first.

Not much done yet, but planning to install an Injen intake on Sunday and also trying to save enough cash to possibly head to So Cal and purchase the TRD kit from one of the guys on here by March.

Was wondering about that these past few days if you still had them available. Can you send me a message on how much + shipped to San Jose CA 95122!

Getting tired of the Gen 1.5 lights, I liked them at first but not it seems like too much going on with them.

Got the Injen on today, almost had it done last night, but the hose was too short.

Short sample video, only mods is this, a TRD muffler and HIDs.

Took it for a short test drive afterwards, maybe it might be just wanting to hear the intake but I noticed the gas gauge going low. But I placed the MAF the same direction it was on the stock intake. I will monitor this for now.
