solorange Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I just got my TRD ground effect kit back from paint by Kevin Clifford (360Iroc) and he did a great job matching it up for me. Here are just a few pics after I installed it today! Thanks again Kevin! http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1581.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1580.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1579.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1578-1.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1577.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1576.jpg Got the Interior Wood Trim painted the color of the car too http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1622.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN1621.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 yeah i at first i thought it was a honda/acura, but then i saw it said TRD and your signature. BTW not bashing on your car in paticular but i find it funny that Toyotas racing teams is TRD...Turd idk makes me laugh anyways looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamZman Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Wow I really like that! I find myself checkin out Solaras alot and yours is nicest I've seen! I'll be the over-critical internet jerk and say I'm not crazy about the grill.. Not even sure what you could do different.. but it seems to cheap up the perfect car otherwise? Anyways. I love it.

zeitgeist57 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 The first gen Solaras have really made a good impression on me. I only wish that they were true 2dr hardtops, where the rear quarter windows went down. Other than that, great looking ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solorange Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 ^ Thanks again for your hard work! Thanks everyone for the great comments! Maybe Ill see some of you around at QSL somenight when Im in town. Wow I really like that! I find myself checkin out Solaras alot and yours is nicest I've seen! I'll be the over-critical internet jerk and say I'm not crazy about the grill.. Not even sure what you could do different.. but it seems to cheap up the perfect car otherwise? Anyways. I love it. The grill was a prototype made by a company called Renova. I was never successful due to the lack of an "aftermarket" market for solaras. I like it because it was something a different and it gets rid of the stock chrome grill. Im not a huge chrome person on new cars so I like to get rid of what I can that is chrome.

Kevin R. Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Honestly I think the chrome grill would compliment the rims nicely. That one looks, well, cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Looks great man, probably the nicest Solara I've seen. Very tastefully modded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solorange Posted May 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Honestly I think the chrome grill would compliment the rims nicely. That one looks, well, cheap. Naw the chrome was flacking off and it doesnt look right with the black housing headlights. I actually sanded the stock grill down and painted it black a while ago. You may like this better, but I still like the renova grill better. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k214/cbohland84/Solara/DSCN0620.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I actually think the OEM is the nicer choice..IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 WOW that thing does look pretty damn nice, I thought I was going to click on this and see some huge battle tron body kit. You did a very good job in modding the car the way you like it, and keeping it simple to the eye! good job man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I like that a lot better actually, but it is still your car so I guess that decision is yours! I agree. Looks better with the black grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solorange Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 yeah I figured you might like that black grill better. Thanks again for all the nice comments guys! Maybe Ill see some of you at QSL on the weekends when Im actually in town for a weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
