so i was looking at stock pictures and noticed im missing something. mud flaps. which got me thinking of what else i could get that i dont have

im looking for these parts for my 91' camry wagon:

-mud flaps all 4 preferably with "TOYOTA" printed on them like the stock ones
-the strip of body side molding on the quarter panel (drivers side)
-the brake light assembly door (you remove it to replace the bulb, that one) in the dark blue colored interior
-clear parking light covers where to get them and how much
-if possible clear headlight glass/lens (i dont want to have to buy the whole assembly)
-new hubcaps. i hate the stock ones and the paints peelin. i have no idea what would look good on this car. any suggestions are welcome

Well, I've got a couple of suggestions for you. I have a 1990 V6 and the mud guards on my Camry have been a PITA in the snow. They like to rip-off in deep snow. Call around to local wreckers, if they don't have any then Toyota may be your only recourse if you want the original "TOYOTA" flaps.

For the front trim on the driver's side (I assume you mean the black bump- guard trim), definitely go to a wrecker. Shouldn't be too expensive. Same for the little plasticy-fabricy trim door for the rear tail lights.

Forget hubcaps, they're lame and ugly--no matter what ones you get. Look on Craigslist or Kijiji for a set of 15", 5 x 100 bolt, 5.5"-6" wide aluminum rims for sale, and put some lower-profile rubber on them. If you want to stay cheaper and stick with hubcaps, just be aware that the Wal-Mart crap (the sets that sell for $20 or $30) doesn't last. The finish comes off fast, and the plastic is really low-grade...it cracks incredibly easily. I'm telling ya, go with alloy rims!

Hope this helps...

i mean the black trim on the rear quarter panel but i assume that would be good to go for a wrecker too. and the door for the light housing is on the inside of the car its a plastic pop off door not fabric. but rims i really cant afford but i am happy you gave me the size i would need thanks!

The OEM mudguards only have the "TOYOTA" imprinted on the rears, not on the fronts.
If you're really on a tight budget, you can also find other OEM alloys that would fit your car.

I think your Camry wagon is completely cool.

If the budget is tight, the OEM wheel covers can be easily painted with some Duplicolor and you have a wide choice of silvers to chose from. You might just be surprised how good they look refinished. Ebay is probably the best / cheapest source for the clear lights. (Age of the car might limit how many choices there are) Healights would be assemblies only... not really possible to buy just the lens in most cases.

Keep us posted on your progress.

EDIT: I agree that new wheels would make a HUGE difference... like others are saying.

no luck with clear corner lights on ebay (prolly b/c of the age of the car). and does anyone know of headlights (clear) from a different car (ex: civic) that would fit in the camry? and a question for homegrown what rims do you have on your camry?

EDIT: also wanted to ask about paint. what is your opinion on the best color for this car
