first add-on

[AzN_DrAgoN48]

hey everyone i was wondering what was your first change to your solara when you got it. i just got one and i want to "enhance" it thnx for your ideas

[Gunman]

got the car home and changed the radio, then the next day got rims and tinted the windows.

First upgrade was a radar detector. Then clear corners, then neons and all that stuff.

painted my brake caliper red.

radio, rims, tires, wood trim for center console, wood shifter knob... the rest is history!

[krook]

gauges and clear corners first. then i just put in a new dash. body kit still waiting to be put on...when it is, it'll be dipped in midnight blue.

Well I added a nice stereo, but it all depends on what you want to do with your car. I'd say there are 3 basic categories of modification:

1) Sound
2) Performance
3) Looks

Not necessarily in that order. For sound, many of us are decent, but Gunman is the expert. I think Flipside is the concensus expert on performance, although again, many of us are proficient. Looks, just about anyone can help with.

My .02 on performance would be to upgrade the brakes/lines (I believe there's a brembo group buy on rotors right now at http://www.zer0.info/solaraguy/viewtopic.php?t=1959&highlight=brembo), followed by the suspension. Then you can get into some heavier mods (ie. supercharger, header-back exhaust, etc). Good luck!

My very first mod was lowering it and putting rims on.

[nkx1]

First thing I did was add an alarm. I felt nervous leaving my new car (new to me anyways) anywhere without one.
2. Stereo System (head unit, amps, speakers, subs, etc.)
3. Remove rear emblems
4. Rims
5. Clear corners
6. Mesh grill

-I did 1 - 4 all in about 2 weeks of eachother when I first got the car.

Still to come:

- Lowering
- Tint

[ZXLNT]

First thing I did was get my stereo equipment installed
I kind of want some different gauges and maybe some more woodgrain trim.

[Peter]

first thing i did was head unit

[NASTY]

rims!

[cdssolara]

The first thing I did was lower it and add stiffer struts. Like NaptownSolara said, your first mod really depends on what your personal preferences are. There are a lot of appearance mods you can do, and some of them can be relatively inexpensive. Performance mods can be expensive, but if you bought the car to drive it, start with some suspension mods. Sound mods can range from cheap to really expensive, so again, it just depends on what you want out of the car. Good luck!

First came the springs, about a week later came the Rims, the next month came intake/exhaust.
