Hello from Newbie

Hey Guys.
I want to say hello to every one.I am a Newbie here and just order my black camry SE v6 and should be here on the 1st week of december.Since this will be my toy car and I am going to need alot of advices from you guys..I guess my first purchase will be rims.I went to a local shop today and they told me I should stick with the 17 rim so I can use the original tires that came with the stock car..what do you think? should I stick with the 17in or go for the 18 in?.I would prefer a comfortable ride over the stiff one..what should I need to mod after my rims?.fog light?wood dash kit?.grill?..give me some advice ....thanks guys

If you wanted a more comfy ride, a LE or XLE would have been more suitable in comparison to the SE sport suspension. That said, if you go 18, might as well look into coilovers.

coilovers!

Welcome to TN.
If you still want comfort ride, go with 18" but for tires go 235-45-18.
If you have SE then you already have fog light.
For rims, tint, dash kit, grille....just look at the link in my signature.

hahaha... you chose the wrong car for a toy car... but since you did... i'd go 18-19 if you want looks, or 17's for performance... and never use the stock tires... the suck. foglights, you got em like lammy said... wood dash kit is gay, the camry already comes wih silver dash which looks great, stick with your stock grille... if you want to do what no one has done yet, order the coilovers as stated and slap them on
