I bought my wife a 09 Camry LE back in July(im strictly a f-body man). I promised pics so here they are.(yes, i am lazy,lol) Plus we bought a house and have been pretty busy with that.

The wife wants:
-Tint
-Se or TRD wheels
-Subs/Speakers

thanx. i plan on keeping it that way. i may get a clear bra for it

Front clear bras do wonders for rock chips and bugs, best investment ever.

Great choice! I'd say do both the TRD springs as well as some wheels too, TD 19" ones would match nicely.

Nice buy!

Dude be strategic with wheel choice! There are alot of wheels out there to choose from!

Take it from me, I am on my forth set of rims and I am still not satisfied. LOL!

Not being a dick here...just informing considering the forum is new...

There is a new forum for everyone who wants to show their ride instead of posting here and cluttering the forums

I put the clear bra myself and cost me $87 for the 3M 12" roll (enough for hood and side mirrors).
it is not pre cut so you have to cut it yourself.
its is simple, you only need new (sharp) razor blade and soapy water.
it is exactly like tinting your windows.

Isn't it also require heat gun? or at least hair drier?

no heat required in my install.
just make sure the car is clean and spray soapy water and slide the clear bra there.
You have to move fast to cut the plastic so you can still adjust the plastic if you make mistake (don't let the soapy water drie up until you finished cutting it to follow your hood edge).
I used bug rubber eraser to push all the air bullbles out. and after all dried up, use small needle to poke the air bubbles if you have some there.
So far the bra has been on my car for 2.5 years, no problem, no bubbles or yellowing.
feel free to ask if you want to know more. it is really easy.

Get the second generation Ventureshield film, not the 3M one. Omega Tintwerks in Pleasanton is pretty good I heard, and they charge around $600. My friend had a custom kit done with Ventureshield on his G35 and it looks excellent, but he went with Premiere.
