Brand new 07 SE V6, first mods: lighting - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

***darksparkz*** · 05-16-2007, 09:03 PM

Brought a brand new 07 Camry SE V6, Black on Black leather. Ordered it early April and recieved delivery about two weeks ago. Came loaded except for navi and garagelink and dimming compass mirror. I'm planning to do aftermarket navi anyways, so I didn't want navi, but it came with the JBL system anyways.

Pictures are with a bad 4MP camera and in the hands of a novice. Last wash was about 2 weeks ago, so lots of dust accumlation.

Above are all with Polarg M4 bulbs. I swapped out a total of 7 bulbs, which includes the two front door lights, the three front dome and map lights, and the two sun visor lights. All were just with a flathead and M4 bulbs.

Next up would be tints, 35 front/20 rear.

Thanks!

Tires are the exact same ones that came on my '05 RX330. They are Michelin Energy MXV4 S8, 215/55/17, stock.

wow this is the first time i've actually seen some up close pics of that particular color combo... i gotta say the black on black is really sporty, possibly moreso than the gray leather interior of mine...

Us northerners get the all seasons, in SoCal you probably get the Toyo Proxes summer tires. Most of the SE's up here have either the Michelins or Bridgestone Potenzas. My SE will be here next week, and I have fingers crossed for the Michelins.

Netforcer · 05-17-2007, 10:35 AM

yep... michelins on my stock

I have the Bridgestones on mine, and their probably decent for all-seasons, but they dont seem to grip that well. Maybe it's just the power that im not used to, but I spin the tires so often on accident, especially when turning.

Yeah, I'm really bad at the camera field, but I'll try to invest into a nice tripod, lol.

Black on black is great, except extremely hot when parked in a parking lot with the sun. I'm going to tint it soon, so that should help.

I'm going to try to figure out how to do that shifter LED mod, should be fairly simple from what I've read around on the few threads.

i know what u mean i spin my tires once in a while. btw i do have the Toyo Proxes but i've seen some SE's with Michelin or Bridgestone. do they all perform the same way? meaning traction and stuff
