Jazz Up My Avalon XLS - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

OK - so I bought my 2nd Avalon. My 1st was a 1995 gold XLS. I now have a 2005 XLS. LOVE IT!!!!!! I got this one in the Pine Mica simply b/c I am one of those people who tire quickly of nothing but BLACK / WHITE / SILVER cars everywhere...anywho...EVERY time I see another Avalon ( and its rare cuz so many people are NOT aware that its a beauty ) its in the Handicapped space at the mall/grocery stores

...they say Cadillacs are "old people" cars, but so far I havent seen anyone under 50 driving an Avalon in my neck of the woods...( I'm in suburban Chicago ).

That said - are there any suggestions to add some "youth" to this vehicle? Make no mistake - I'm not trying to "pimp my ride" - I love how classy the vehicle is - but there doesnt seem to be much in the way of "accessories: for this vehicle. As if Toyota KNEW nobody under 50 would buy it...lol

I dont need tints - the car has greenish tinted windows. But I wonder if anyone knows where i can get some reasonable license plate frames or maybe suggest what kind of rims look nice on the car? This vehicle doesnt need alot - but I feel one or two small touches can make it more "sporty" "hip" etc...

Search cardomain.com

There's some nicely modded Avalons on there. I'm also a big fan of the lip kit that some Avalons have. I heard it was an expensive option though.

COOL - see I didnt know there were lip kits available...I'll be sure to check out the website - thanks!!!

No problem man. Although you might have a bit of a tough time finding one. I heard lip kits were rare. But with a little bit of searching, you should be able to fine one. Other things you may want to consider to make it a little more youthful; Tint, rims, a nice subtle exhaust, lip spoiler, etc.

You will be limited in the options you have and that BODY kit is only available i believe on the 2006 SE edition?i might be wrong on the year.I have alot of the add ons on the AvaDon..Check my SIG.Im sorry but the black, silver, white are the best colors for this car.
