2nd Generation Upgrades & Accesories

[Pocketman]

I have a 2005 Solara Coupe SLE, with about 70k on it. Still in great shape, but have been thinking about moving on. Every time I test drive another car, getting back into the Solara just feels like home. This is our second Solara (wife had an '06 conv) so there must be something about them that we like.

A couple of things I wish it had was XM radio and HID headlights. It has the JBL radio, but not the XM, which is I believe is an add-on. Checked with local dealer and was told the kit is no longer available. I know there are aftermarket HID kits, but I'm not too comfortable with cutting up my wiring and there isn't a lot of real estate to mount ballasts. The steering wheel controls are getting a little worn as well.

Is there a good source of after market and/or Toyota parts and accessories to "modernize" Solaras?

There's quite a few XM radio kits on ebay, all running around $250. To be honest, there's probably a lot more other accessories for the Solara as well on ebay.
