you already know I love the car bro, looks sick, I especially like the moving shot. Just black out the tails. it will really complete the blacked out look that your ride has already. As for headlights, smoke the housings as a homemade project or pick up a set of the black housings on ebay, that would really compliment your car A LOT. im sure the other guys will agree with that. Other than that good luck and keep it up, it looks bada$$.

First, let me say that your car looks great!

1. What I think would look great on your car is smoked 1st gen lights... but not a normal smoke. Smoke all of the red part of the taillights and leave the clear mirror unsmoked. If you smoke the whole then, there won't be a lot of contrast on the back end... imho.

2. Blacked out headlights - maybe a creative eyelid instead? I've seen a guy take smoked headlight covers and cut nice designs into them. That might work for you.

3. Carbon Fiber - if you want a tuner look, go for it. If you want a low profile look, I'd stay away.

4. Racing seats, to me, look akward with the solara interior. I say go for it, if you're ready to modify other pieces of the interior too, to make it looks like it fits in.

5. I think that the toyota embem would look nice, especially with smoked first gen lights.

1- gen 1 tails or smoked 1.5's?
- Great if/when done right.

2-blacked out headlights???
- Great, there are some ebay ones as well. I believe members here can help you if your wanting to smoke yours.

3-CF hood??
- Great, but depending on your purpose? Its a great weight reduction, and stunning for looks.

4-racing seats??
- You have a dark car with dark tints. I'd swap out of the three point thingie into a four point harness if your more into autox, and taking it on the track.

5-black pearl oem toyota symbol on the center of the trunk?
- i like it shaved.

Looking good. Imo I'd black out the tailights, and the driving lights too, except a like smoke vs. a total blackout. Emblem and seats sound like they'd look good too.

I'm in the same situation with the Gen 1.5 smoked tails. I was hoping krawzyazn had some pics of his project on the ones he did. I may just buy a set of the Gen 1's and do what Assyrian said. ~~~>

The carbon fiber hood wouldn't look good in my opinion. I'd keep the colors consistent unless you were going to try to make it lighter.

Smoked headlights are a great idea, I'm just waiting to order mine from eBay.

Racing seats depend on what you plan on making the interior look like. I'd get some nice leather ones with a stock belt. Unless you want that cloth with a huge harness look inside. But then it would look wierd if you didn't make any more sporty mods on the inside.

Good luck on your mods
