Hey wassup fellas i'm not really car savvy so here goes. Se kit onto Le v6 can it be done I found a toyota parts website(www.toyotadiscountparts.com) where I can purchase the front and rear spoiler for pretty cheap. I didnt bother to look for side skirts yet just wanted to see if it was possible first... Not sure if this was a ridiculous ? but bare with me. Pretty sure everyone is wondering y not jus purchase an SE reason being I didnt see that model until everything was signed and processed and also never bothered asking the dealer... So anyway I'm hoping you guys can help me out... Highly appreciated...

The LE's do not have the proper cut outs to mount the front and rear spoilers.

Here is a picture of the stock cut-outs on an SE bumper to mount the lip kit.

You can go this route with the Razzi kit. It look just like the SE version.

lol... Yeah I seen most of the kits available.. I just seen the front and rear spoiler for such a cheap price just thought it was worth a shot.. Thanks boys....

yes the XLE, LE and camry grade models lack the holes needeed to fit the SE kit....the nice SE mesh grille is a bolt on tho

like said before, the razzi kit is a nice option....looks great and resembles the SE kit too

I bet a handy guy could go to town on an LE bumper and make the cutouts himself... Considering they are all covered by the lip itself it's not as if they all need to come out perfect, although placement would be the key PITA... A helper and a dry-erase marker could make the job a lot easier. Then add a cutting disc to the rotary tool of your choice and go to town... Probably never look as clean as the cuts on the actual bumper cover but like I said, they don't need to be, you'll never see them again.

Another thought... Are there possibly "relief" marks on the inside of the bumper cover, maybe all the locations are already marked on the LE bumper covers? I've seen this before, even if there are two unique forms used, the one that doesn't have the cutouts will sometimes still have marking where the cutouts go... Usually on the un-seen surface.

That's true....

Nope, No reliefs.

I still think a guy could cut them out, just a little harder now... Chit, this has gotta be easier than retrofitting headlamp projectors.

easier said than done, make the notches too big and they won't stay. make it too small and it won't fit. easiest method would be to level the notches from the spoiler themselves and mount them to the stock le kit with glue or 3m

Sh*t...

I was going to do the same thing this guy is doing. And NOT getting the actual OE SE kit kinda bums me out.

I like the razzi kit except for one thing, the rear bumper has duel port cut outs for exhaust. the fake exhaust tip is just too cheese which means you would have to go and get duel's.

just something else to spend more money on.

however, lammy's ride does look nice with 2 pipes. i just dont know if I would get the kit after seeing his ride.

That'd work too... I'd need to see the notches up close before making the decision as to which way to go, but it appears YOU CAN mount the SE lip on LE bumpers, it's just not "plug'n'play."
