Gen5 xx03Camry's Build thread :o

Alright, here's a little story about my car. It was a hand me down 80K miles on it, hated it for a good while...I've always wanted a STi. When I graduate college, I plan to purchase one as a grad present to myself. So, the car has 160k miles on it...and I thought to myself "This car has been so reliable for me, I'm going to stick with it" Now, I'm in love with the camry and really want to set it apart from the rest of the camrys drivin around here in Vegas! Tryin to be original, at least in vegas.


So far this is what I've done:

Black emblem (Front)
LED (Map lights, dome, glove box, trunk and license plate)
Eibach springs

To do:
BC Coilovers
17x9 +25 Wheels 235/40
Vibrant muffler
TRD center caps
Seafoam the engine, for the first time.
Red Vinyl for the reverse light on the tails




Before:





Front:




After:




Front:



Rear:

Since you're still in college my advice is leave the car alone. Have fun and enjoy college. Save your cash for your STi.

Will eventually debadge, but the HIDS and fogs will be the last mods for me.

I've thought long about this, I have a good looking car. I want to set it apart from the rest and be original. The STi will come when it comes...I want a good lookin car, and want people to question "That's a camry?". Honestly, when it's all said and done it'll cost about $2k. Sure, I could save that $2k for the STi, but if I save all the time won't have time to enjoy anything. I'm pretty much set on makin this camry one clean ride. Thanks though.


Thanks for the springs BlackG5

If you want people to say "that's a Camry?" get rid of the emblems so they have to think harder

Can you take a pic of the whole back end from a distance?? I'd of left the reverse clear for safety reasons... And another of my opiinions, i with the colour of your car, the tails would have looked better with a smoked tint

I hate smoked lights, oh and I only covered the white part lol It's a risk, but it looks nice...I would take a picture of my whole rear end, but I have a huge dent on the trunk. Hit and run at a parking lot lol. Once the wheels come in, getting everything I need painted.

It would look awesome with your colour too. Don't go as dark as mine, just a light smoke and it would be perfect
