hey guys, this week i traded my trd solara in for a 2003 gs sport design. its graphite grey with black interior. i love the car so far and i am looking forward to some modifications. i have already ordered the RMM complete 5 piece body kit and have had the windows tinted 5% all around and 15% on the windshield. i plan on doing a drop on some coilovers or ltuned springs, 18 or 19" wheels, woodgrain kit, CAI, and a cat back exhaust. ive noticed a few strange noises from the car that i have mentioned in other posts. im looking forward to learning about this car and making it more of a head turner.

With a full kit, I think you should opt for 20's. 19's will look more like 18's with a kit.

yeah man that tint will be crazy!! you might have to drive with the windows down at night so you can see!!!! haha, but you should definetely go bigger than, 18s i have them, and i was a little dissapointed, and with a drop and body kit you will probably want to go bigger. and if your looking at cat backs, i have a borla, and i love it. it has a pretty classy sound not too loud. and it is great performance, and the tips look good. i cant wait to see pics!

GGP is the best color for our rides. But I'm biased though
