that rear valance looks great. I've always wondered if the TRD (or TRD style) side skirts from an is300 would work on the 3es.
am i able to go on a site and purhcase the rear valance or is it one of those rear items that one will need to buy when they come across it?

i was actually going to try fit those side skirts on my car at some point so i'll be able to answer that soon 
The rear valences are one of those "rare" items that were discontinued a while ago, there might be some for sale on the facebook solaraguy forum which is where I got mine.

soo after saving up some money.. I finally bought a much needed part for my car lol
Little test fit teaser
They are Work VS-MX's. 18x8 +38. Ideally, I wanted 8.5 or maybe 9's with +35 offset for a deeper dish and more aggressive look but I decided on something that would fit easily without alot of work lol.. plus these are 3 piece so I could rebuild them with bigger lips if i really wanted to.
Only thing that's next buying the right size tires, and later on down the road, extended studs, spacers and adding negative camber to get perfect fitment.

Thanks. My next mod is going to be quad projectors with RGB angel eyes and demon eyes to match all my current lights in my car.
You are right, the fronts did look pretty high in comparison to the back. I swapped my front coilovers from tein to megan because the teins would making weird binding noises when I turned my wheel. When I changed out my coilovers I set the megans to the lowest setting. I rub a tiny bit when I go over potholes or speedbumps but nothing too bad. megans dont go as low as I wanted :-(
My "WINDOM" and "3.0G" emblems were ordered off megazip.net. Not sure if they still have them though.
My friends and I got bored so we started messing around with my friends camera. Shots came out pretty ugly since we didn't have the right settings and my photoshop skills arent the best.
