Thanks man.
There's a member on here who had a blue Gen 1.5 that sold it for a white xB.
There was a G/B for it.

Wow - a lot of nice work... and some good custom projects too! :up:

I can really appreciate anyone who does the little detailed projects as well to truly customize their ride and not just slap on a bunch of bolt ons and call it done... way to keep pushing the envelope and create something truly unique! ;)

Thanks man.
Yeah i know. lol.
Yeah, my car may not be the fastest but i do have some of the rarest parts on my car, which IMO makes it unqiue.
For example, my DBA rotors; i think i'm the only SG.com member that has them on a Solara. Also for some of the hard aquired bushin' i have that are collectin' parts. lol.
Thanks again.
