This is my old car, a 1999 Toyota solara V6 SLE, which my parents have taken; I currently drive a 2005 Infiniti G35X AWD Sedan, but I've been too lazy to photograph it yet. This car had the TRD rear sway bar, TRD struts (with stock sport package springs, not lowering springs), TRD exhaust, Injen short ram intake, Hella supersport horns, and the stock premium package JBL speaker system (which sounded great when coupled with the alpine 9855 headunit's tuning capabilities) and a single Alpine Type-R 12" woofer. It was powered by the stock alternator and a deep cycle drycell Odyssey PC1200 battery (the alternator continually underpowered the woofer using only Optima batteries).

Here's a video with the exhaust and intake sound on the highway: http://video.cardomain.com/TriOptimum

A view from the front.

I have since put the stock taillights back on the car, as these aftermarket ones let water in the trunk and should be avoided. They are also _very_ hard to see in direct sunlight, which is not good unless you want someone rear ending you.

The interior and exterior look brand new.

Inside: Alpine 9855, iPod, TomTom GO, Escort SRX, and LaserProPark Dual Head (control panel near shifter). I got rid of the SRX for the new 9500i with GPS, becuase the jammers were always falsing and the LPP takes care of jamming just fine by itself. I was also worried someone would break in to steal the SRX display, since I couldn't remove it.

Orb 10" Carbon Fiber subwoofer; hits very hard because of the rigidity of the carbon fiber. I'm not sure if the company still exists or not. I have replaced it with an Alpine Type-R 12", because I wanted more bass, but this was a very nice woofer. Another eadvantage of using carbon fiber: it has a total weight of only 13lbs.

You can see the LaserProPark and Escort SRX laser jammers on the bumper, and the Veil covering on the license plate to help absorb (instead of reflect) infrared police laser.

Great work, I've never seen that carbon fiber subwoofer. That thing is amazing looking.
