Dealer's sticker ...

Love the emblems.

As for that dealer sticker, at least it looks cool and not tacky. Some dealers put stickers. "VALLEY" can mean anything..doesnt have to be the dealership

The name of the dealer that I bought my car from call "Don Valley North Toyota". It is not so bad for the dealer sticker.....
However, when you have more than a dozen of ppl said this to you.. "dude~ what the hell is this?? Hybrid wanna be???"...... I am pretty sure you will wanna get rid of that...

I like how the red color contrast with the snow. Just awesome!

Red cars looks so sexy. I don't know why.

How did you paint the front emblem? red and black or you took the bottom part out ?

At first, i was gonna get the blue one. However, for some reason when the first time i saw the red camry, I can't stop thinking of buying it..

For the front emblem, I took it out and use fish line to separated the Toyota emblem from base, and then I brought it to my friend's body shop to do the paint job.
