use the search function and you will find the kit you are looking for. it is known as the SET kit. It comes with either dual or single exhaust ports for both i4 and v6 camry gen 6's.
SET = Southeastern Toyota Distributors. That kit was first sold in that region as well as other exclusive OEM/aftermarket products from SET. Hence the name...
Here on the west coast, Carson Toyota sells it as the Aero Ground effects kit and that can be found here on Carson Toyota's parts website:
That is probably a question of preferences and taste and in that category their is no better or worse. I don't like the multi piece look of the SET - too busy looking.

You're right. It's all come down to personal preferences.
I don't like any add-on piece including the OEM SE kit.

Back on stock height and love it!
i agree with tobeit and lammy.
besides the SE kit, i think the rksport looks the neatest because of the 1 piece design.
i do like the LXMode lip
the ED kit just makes the car look a lot less classy, maybe a bit more sporty looking, but it just makes the car look a whole damn chunkier. fat sagging ass

I guess a tastefully done, full replacement kit would be something of interest for you if done right. That is the one thing I don't like on mine - the seams between the bumper and kit.

I prefer classy too. But I showed flips car to my teenage daughter and she liked it a lot - I simply like different look of cars where people put some thought in. ED is not my style necessarily either but flips car is a nice eye catcher.
i agree tobeit.
the only thing i like on his car are the vents. when done with the right kit, right wheels, and right height, i think the fenders would be a nice addition.
i was noticing all the seems in the SET kit and it does look a bit sloppy. i just wish there were more 1 piece kits available that were a different look than the SE. they still look good, but they just dont stand out as much. also would like to see some more with a single exhaust outlet. but as far as convenience though, these add on lip kits from toyota are pretty good deals. prepainted with instructions and templates. not too bad

you can always do a custom kit like molding the SE, RKsport, or Razzi kits to the stock bumpers to make it look like a one piece design.
