New Spring mods since April.

Since April, I've done some work and mods on my Camry. Finally I would say, so any ways, here are some pics.

The strut brace was installed in April. After sitting in my garage for 2 years, I've finally installed it in.

Before


After




This month, I've ordered some minuscule TRD parts as well and still am waiting for more to come in the mail.

TRD Oil Cap




I'm still waiting on my TRD Radiator Cap and TRD Air Filter.

And what's this?





I've sold all of the stickers. Sorry, no more. But I will probably order some more.

Plans for the summer:
75% Front/40% Rear tints
Windshield replacement
Gen 5.5 SE Grille
Replacement headlights
Maybe a CF Head Cover.
New tires and maybe rims?

^ Guess you didn't know, the Gen 5.5 I-4 engine acceleration is phenomenal.
Guess Gen 6 owners didn't know.

If you're gonna get 75% tint in the front, then you might as well not get any.

Otherwise, great additions to your sexy car

Yeah, but it'll be a darker tint than nothing. I'm trying to have my car as legal as possible. 70% front is the max tint allowed in California laws.

Nope, front tinting is allowed as long it doesn't pass the 70% mark.

I've worked for a police department so I do check up on current transportation laws.

^ Yeah, but those are direct from the manufacturer. It's to give it a slight tint to prevent UV rays from entering the car. Aftermarket tints provide darker shades and reflective coating.
