Gen5 Rickdogg's Gen 5 Mild Build-Up Thread and background

Just sharing the fun i'm having modding my daily driver. My Gen 5 started off as a 2002 SE with stock 16" hub caps. The infamous hub caps began falling off one by one and after a while my car looked like a total beater.

Fast forward to now and my son is now 5 weeks old. After he was born, I was actually thinking of selling the Camry and purchasing a GS or even a SUV. After weighing my options, I decided to try and ride it out to see if I still liked the Camry. After tinting the windows and seeing how it turned out. I got the mod bug and haven't looked back. I'll have more updates as things progress.

All I have installed so far are the following:


-6K HID's and 3K Fogs
-Tint all around
-19" MRR H1 Wheels
-V-leds exterior and interior lights
-Weathertech Window Visors

Future mods:


-BC Racing Coilovers (Should be here this weekend)
-JP Body kit with jp lip spoiler
-Remove OEM SE Spoiler
-Black out the roof
-Roll fenders
-Koolvue Side Mirrors





Weathertech Window Visors: (will take some better ones during the day)



Some parts that came in:



And a pic of my install of my Endless brakes on my Z33 since it was in the same album:

Show a distance shot of the rims please! I know the wheel gap will make me cry....but you have coils coming so it won't make me cry too hard

Looks great so far!

Sure I have no problem showing off my 4x4. I just found out that my coilovers are coming in today. Time to go get my fenders rolled so I can slam it to as much as possible.

Only downside is we have to locate a 3rd brake light since Toyota penny pinched and didn't include one for SE models with the wing.

those are awesome looking rims! it will look great once you drop it! good shots of the weathertechs... i always were weary of them because i feel they would stick out like a sore thumb, but they seem so streamline you can barely tell.

I have the mild JP lip spoiler going on, so I will probably go to a junkyard and find a 3rd brake light
