Default we bowwwght it

01 lara convertible with 29xxx miles on it. DIAMOND PEARL WHITE, v6, fully loaded. car still in the dealer but it's all paid for and signed.

we really have to thank Mmarshall for the remote assitance(heehee) and Liz for pointing us to the right person and the tricks of the trades. Also thank you CL for contributing vauable insights and encouragements.





I'm still thinking if this should be a JDM project or not. post your fav ideas- rays rims, vip goodies, 15-degree up-right exhausts(if done tastefully?). hey, we bought the car and now it's yours to mod!

Lara as in Solara? TRD lip kit lowered on some rims and a TRD supercharger will do the trick

If you want to get some serious hp out of a Solara/Camry supercharger, check out urdusa.com.

When it first came out, same thought. I like the new look, unlike the older ones. However, I love the interiors Please post pictures of the interior, especially the dash

Really? Cool, I'm glad you find the interior somewhat satisfactory I'll try my best to take some half-way decent pictures as we've been searching for a camera stand or tri-pod for T-1 but to no avail.

To me, it's a huge improvement over the previous version, more sleeker.
What don't you like about the new interiors?

I like it. Especially how the tweeters are integrated on the lower side of the door panel. The center arm rest is some what inadequate for a driver who's been pampered by a bigger size sedan. We thought of the same thing about the beemer 3 series and we obviously lived through it, so I know we'll be ok
