Thats a very clean Soarer. I'm in WA too. I'm not going to ask you how much you paid for yours but what kind of price does a good example like this go for with ~100,000kms?

I was browsing the YJA and just happened to run across the side skirts that match your front bumper and rear lip. Car looks great already, but would look even better w/ the matching sides. That Evolution Explosion kit is probably one of my favorite kits that I hardly ever see.

potatobbq: i have those skirts sitting around somewhere, but i dont know why i decided to go vertex skirts. yes matching ones will look great, but i **might** go shine AC kit, so thats why im not very fussed.

Aindriu: youll be hard pressed to find soarers with less than 130000kms, but there are some around. 7-8.5k for a good one, and 11 grand for a great one i should say. 11k should get you a late model vvti 1jz. if you have a lower budget, there are heaps of decent ones around for 5-6k
