3rd Generation My Gen 3.5 Mod List.. Please help/advise

i have a dark emerald green 95 camry i4 dx sedan that has been in my family since day 1. As of now,I want to throw on some window visors so that i can continue to be cheap and avoid using the a/c when it rains, some mudflaps for practicality and balance. These two seem fairly easy to do and find on eBay. I also wanted to get a rear window visor but can't find it anywhere... does anyone know where i can find them? I rmr somebody was selling them on here but couldnt find that thread using the search function.

Now I also wanted to put some 92-94 headlights just because I like the shape of them and you can find ones online that have halo's installed which I was planning on buying if it was possible to mount them on a 95 before installing hid's with ballasts. Is it possible to do so?? If not I was just going to install some HIDs. Any reccomendations on temperature?

I was reading on the forum also that some ppl get their front lip off of an older Ford Taurus?? What year would I have to look for in the junkyard and is it easy to mount? I love the effect of that lip and think it would look great on my car.

Lastly I wanted to tint the windows, I was planning on just the rears because I know its illegal in Illinois at least to have the fronts tinted but was thinking of doing it anyways cuz I heard its only a 20 dollar ticket and I am a relatively safe driver. Any comments on that idea?




I KNOW I ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS BUT I DO GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP IN THE MATTER.

Headlights can't be done without a front end conversion, or some custom work. Front lip can be found from time to time on here in the classifieds, or you can do the Home Depot/Lowes lip or you can custom fit one.

Window tint, you'll need to check with your local laws. Either way, have it done professionally and don't attempt it yourself.

1. someone just started a rear window visor thread.
GEN3 Mystery Part... Very Rare?!?!?!?

2. as for the headlights, youll need to replace the grille with a 92-94 grille and cut the lip on the stock gen3.5 bumper, just under the grille.

3. as for the lights them selves. wait to get your HIDs till after you decide the lights ya want to go with. you can retrofit yourself, get the depo clears or buy these(have them on my car)...

http://depoautolights.com/toyota-cam...e666414d426790

personally id sugggest anything under 8K as far as temp goes and would not get HIDs in the depo clears or the stock housings...lots of glare and poor light distribution.

4. the lip can be had off any early 90s taurus, i think 92-95 or somthing like that. its VERY easy to mount. there are holes which are used for clips that i used to mount it to the bumper with bolts. all ya need is someone to help ya line it up and make the holes.

5. in most states the ticket is low...but if its anything like MD...they give you a service order to have it removed by a certain date.
