A SE ground effects/bodykit for an 07 Camry. I have searched the net and nothing really any good comes up. The search here is to broad when SE is thrown in there. I dont have a SE but would like to add the kit to my LE camry. Thanks for the help ahead of time
I have never found a replica kit. When i was looking for one, i got a price of $1,200 unpainted. You have to buy them at the dealer as replacement parts one by one, you can't buy it as a kit.
Thats crazy high. Figures though. Plus buying piece by piece. Not even worth it to me. That sucks for sure though. I ll have to call my local Toyota dealer and see what they say
Ok ill contact him.
I did, like i said to broad of a search with SE in there. Too many posts.
Obviously, if you just type in "SE", you'll have thousands of links. If you type in other keywords such as "SE ground kit" or other words, the search would cut it down.
Why not get it painted from the dealer/manufacturer with OEM factory paint?
The parts do not come painted from the factory when you purchase them seperate from a vehicle. That is one thing that I do not like about Toyota becuase you can order the lip kit parts from Honda and they come factory painted. I have been looking into getting a new front "SE" lip but I would have to get it painted seperately and I do not want to do that because the Magnetic Grey Metallic is a very hard paint color to match.

If its an experienced paint shop, they shouldnt have a problem matching the color

They are more than likely aftermarket items with cheap paint.
not easy but doable. you can get the razzi replica kit which is pretty close to the se kit for about 1000-1100 painted. if you want original well thats a different story. depends how much body shop guy would charge you. you should be able to get front and rear lips with all hardware necessary for less than 450.
rocker panels aka side skirts aren't cheap though. the cheapest i could get them at dealership is 270 each and they need to be painted. though you can get away with not having them or getting the razzi ones.
front and rear lips you should be about to get for around 300. the rest of money would go to clips, filler panels, and rubber between the bumper and lips. i got mine for 200 but thats because i go to my dealership loads and the fog light covers are molded onto the bumper/arent removable.
bumpers you don't really need the se ones. behind the le/xle ones are marks where your body shop guy would cut out the slits and drill the holes for the se front and rear lips. my guy got them cut perfectly and everything lined up nicely.
se grille i just found on ebay and my body guy touched it up and made it like new. cost me 50 bucks.
