What all have you invested in your Camry?

[mmocahbee]

Thought this could possibly be an interesting thread. What have you done to your Camry since you bought it? How much money have you put into it? What are your future plans? This may help some of us Camry owners into knowing how much mods cost before we get into it. And what the out come can look like.


2011 LE I4. So far only tinted the windows $200, 20% all around nothing on the windshield. Ordering an OBX muffler today or tomorrow from Ebay $50+plus shipping. Thats all so far, but have only owned the car for 5 weeks.

Look @ everyone;s update threads, although all of our mods don't necessarily have prices attached.

I spent about close to 2.5~3k on my car.

[MJZ]

$1k - exhaust
$1.7k - conversion
$250 - lights
$250 - grille + painting
$200+ - trim
$800 - wheels to be sold
$1k - tires that have used up all the tread and tossed
$600 - current tires
$300 - mirrors
$560 - new wheels
$600 - current tires
$300+ - interior
$800 - suspension
$400 - UR Braces

And I'm forgetting some things I'ms ure

If I bought a Lexus, I would still be adding everything on from above lol. The current Lexuses do have LED side mirrors and better looking tail lights so those might be dropped from expenses. Also wouldn't have to do any conversions. Gen 6 LE front end is poopoo

[scamry]

wheels 1: 800
wheels 2: 600
tires 1: 700
wheels 3: 600
tires 2: 300
springs: 350
coils: 700
exhaust: 250
tint: 200
in-dash: 400
lip kit: 1000
new lip: 500
lights: 60
HIDs: 70
grille: 50
bike rack: 200


total ~ 5600 Man, that really makes me sad. My car is nothing special, and I only buy stuff when its a bargain.

[private_number]

wheels + tyres = 2100
springs = 400 installed
coils = 750 installed
Rk lip kit = 2100 imported, painted and installed
SE grille = 240
trunk lip = 80
vibrant muffler = approx 250 imported and installed
Aftermarket head unit = 400
K&N SRI = 360 imported and installed by yours truely

future...dual exhaust upgrade ~800 imported, y pipe created and installed.

total as of the end of this year would be about 7500.


then new rims + audio will bump that way past 11000 once im done with it

....wow.

Did you only do a cometic conversion? I always have wondered how the SE models manage to squeeze out more hp from the same engine as the LE (i4). Is it more aggressive timing?

Gen 6 have same horsepower across all trims for both I4 and V6.

Your 6.5 has more on the SE, which people have theorized is because of exhaust. Maybe ECU? Don't recall a definitive answer.

I'm converting to 2011 Hybrid... it's a surprise shhhh

[eyezack87]

I'd rather not add all my mods up. Don't want to think about it

[HeatherA]

$160ish for an auto-dimming Homelink, compass mirror. Might drop some cash for tinted windows if I can get past my fear of having that done aftermarket. I've had my Camry for just about 2 months.

Damn ya' all spent so much money... I spent $0 on mine.

[touringcamry]

Are you just calling these "investments" to help you justify spending money on a depreciating asset?
