I'm gonna try to answer your questions in the same order you asked.
-----------------------------
do i need to lower my car if i will put new rims like 18 ??
No, you don't need to lower your car. It works fine with stock springs. We lowered it for 2 reasons: Look better and better handling.
do i need to buy something if i will lower my car?
You need to buy new aftermarket springs like TRD/Eibach, Tein, H&R, etc...
what is the best size for my car?
You best size depends on the size and width of your rims. Once you narrow it down to what you like then we can help you.
If you want the look only but don't care about quality ride then go for 20's.
Go for 18' if you want more quality than look.
Go for 19' is obviously between 20' and 18' but tires are much more expensive.
and what type of tires i mean what is specification of tires if i like a 45 offset

also
i really need to put exhaust tip to my car..
help please where to get it?
You can get the exhaust tip from local autoparts stores like Kragen, Autozone, Pepboys or ebay.

No, by pushing it down will not cover all the light (trust me...i did the same thing before). You'll have to cover it up with a piece of metal or from soda can or using the black tape (heat resistant type so it won't melt in there!)

Anymore questions???

[ndestruktclan]

so i did wrong pushing that flap( i mean the metal inside) down?? i didnt get what you mean about covering a metal. its hard to put something inside. SO its useless that i pushed that metal down?? but is there any improvement? coz i remember when i 1st drove my car at night with an 8000k hid someone flashes me. but the 2nd night im like driving some errans nobody flashes even one.. why is that??

and what should be the outcome if i fix that headlight..like no more glare?? is it straight light towards the road only..and im not gonna worry melting somebodies eyes??

Whats GLARE anywy?? LOL hehehe

thanks lammy..

[ndestruktclan]

how much for the springs..?? like TRD?

anywy i'll go with 18 i guess.. give me some ideas for the tires pls..

[Epsilon]

It cost me about $3k just for the body modifications alone, and this was his discount price for me since I've been knowing him for alittle over five years since I went to him for all my body work. This includes the kit, custom fiberglassing, re-enforced fiberglassing, guaranteed perfect fitment, and paint-matching since my car's been sitting in the sun for about six months before I put the kit on.

As for price on wheels and tires, it depends on what kind of wheels and tires you're looking at in your budget.

TRD springs are around $225 shipped I believe.

Edit:
To save ourselves the trouble, here's a link to a HID thread in the past that will answer all of your questions regarding aftermarket HID kits: Real HID on 07' Camry SE

Like Epsilon said TRD springs is about $225 a set.
For 18 rims. It depends on the width of the rims that will determine your tires size. Also your style of how the tires look (Stretch vs. Flatwall)
Here is an example:
18x7.5 Tires should be 225-45-18 or 225-50-18
18x8 Tires should be 225 or 235-45-18 (225 will give you a more stretch look)
18x8.5 Tires should be 235-45-18 or 245-40-18 (225 for aggresive stretch look)
18x9 Tires should be 245-40-18 or even 255-40-18

not only that, but also, how low you are going will determine what offsets and tire measurement you will need. if you are just going to stick with TRD lowering spring height, which is a conservative drop, then you would be fine ranging from +35 up to +45mmoffset. you will not need to get stretched tires as this method is utilized only for extremely low cars and low offsets.
to help you better understand wheel fitment and calculation, read this:

Wheel offset and Tire Calculator
it explains how offsets work.

for options for suspension, refer to this thread:
Gen 6 Suspension Thread(coils,spring, strut bar, sway bar,....)
it tells you what are available in the market.

one thing you have to realize here though, is that epsilon's car, like many of the others, didnt look like that overnight. for some it took weeks and months of waiting to get parts in. a lot of patience and hard work also goes with how your car will look.

to answer what glare is, try Wikipedia
j/k. the effect of glare is basically when you look at something bright that you have to squint. take for example when you are driving on an overcast day, too dark for sunglasses but too bright to not wear any, and then it causes you to squint. same with HID glare. if people flashed you at night because of your hids, then it is because you are throwing glare at them.
