Bent antenna mast. Only thing you can do is replace it. Wife's does the same thing.

nice color, it does give me some idea, nice rim too, 17' ?

Actually you can take this change and swap it with an S2000 antena, the forum has a thread about it.

How long you think ur bone stocks are going to last bro ?

I wish i had XLE model, so i dont have to mod that much.

I'd just do the s2000 antenna conversion rather than putting the stock antenna down permanently and adding a shark antenna (if that's what you meant).

There you go ...

no the rims are 18's and for the antenna i think i'm gonna shave the hole and put the shark antenna only.

Here's a little photoshop on how i want my camry

Yeah, if you're going to shave the stock antenna hole, then I could see doing the shark.

I thought you were asking how to get the stock antenna all the way down so you could just put it down permanently and add the shark. Don't think it would look good with both on the car.

Still, the S2000 would be a lot less hassle than shaving, painting, etc. Personal choice though.

If you want something different, I haven't seen shark fins on too many Camrys, so go for it.

Here's the S2000 on mine. Not a great shot...

paint the side body molding into silver

add some small silver molding on front and rear bumer (u know where)

add silver pillar on the door too

paint door handle into silver too

look for dx/se center trunk panel (black-no light) and swap in

===> that's the mod i'm doing ^_^

People who put all this chrome in any place they can on a car are making their cars look like TOTAL CRAP!

And my bone stocks will last forever....like the Energizer Bunny...they keep going, and going, and going....

Just replaced the original radiator on the 4 cyl. last weekend. Had a small leak the bottom of it. Car never got close to overheating, but went ahead and replaced it. Bought it off ebay for $80 shipped at 1:30am local time and got it at 3:30pm the same day....hand delivered with a bag of candy!

Yea not a great, but a beautiful shot!!! I did the S2K conversion and love it.
