Camry wins over G8 GT! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

First off, thanks to everyone who provided comments/thoughts to my earlier thread when I considered trading in the Camry for a Pontiac G8 GT. Although the allure of a big V8 was intriguing, I decided to keep the Camry and change things up slightly to give it a different feel.

I had a carbon fiber vinyl wrap put on the roof and had my calipers repainted from black with a TRD decal to red with a Brembo decal.

Pics below:

Your car looks amazing.

May I ask what kind of wax you are using? The paint looks dripping wet! I love it.

Thanks. I use Meguiars Gold Class wax usually once to twice a year, but I then use an Armor All after wash wax gel product after each car wash. It applies on the car with your wet chamois and so I can wax the car in about two minutes. I love the product and because it's so easy to use, I do after every hand wash.

Congrats on your decision! Your Camry looks beautiful

I love your rims...I hope to find some similar ones for my own Camry.

I mean just look at it!!! So beautiful!!!

If I can swing it - I'll certainly try. I'll check the meets forum for details once posted.

Did you paint the calipers yourself or did a shop do it? Looks great.

Thank you for posting pics of your roof man...

I have been debating whether or not to do a carbon fiber roof on my mag grey camry, but I couldn't find any decent pics of one actually done. May I ask, is that the flat colored carbon fiber, or gloss? From the pics it kinda looks like it may be the flat, but I can't tell for sure. Thanks man, and your ride looks great. I do the same with the armor all wax after every wash.
