Congrats on the car man. Looks good. If I were you though I would have waited and found a 5spd unless you for some reason wanted the Auto..But since it is what it is..my first mod if it were me would be swapping it over to a 5spd.

I have an EX/SI 5spd tranny in my shop if you want it..i'll sell it.

I understand..Don't take what I said about it being an auto the wrong way..Nice car none the less. I wasn't critizing you or your Sol.

I'm not the one driving it anyway.

-- remove the black side moldings
-- lower...not SLAM, the car
-- slap on some nice wheels besides ROTA Slipstreams (<--- played out like Lil' John's music)
-- ALARM SYSTEM AND KILL SWITCHES!!! <------ Most important modification!!!

....and PLEASE do not install any "Altezza"-style tail lights or RICER spoilers (APR aluminum "picnic table", Supra style, Type-R style, etc.)

Kill switches are simple to wire up. Use the black wire (ground) as your switched wire instead of the +12V power wire.

and getting tint, and swap the engine and tranny.

a friend suggested chrome as a new paint job, we were stoned at the time tho.
and i dont think im gonna drop it any, i do alot of country driving.
and country driving = bumps and dips in the road = car bottoming out (it sometimes does that anyways)

My Sol is lowered but it can go over speed bumps without much issue. Even if your car is stock height, bumps and dips is a part of life no matter what you drive.
