GSV's 6.5 Camry

[GeeEssVee]

Hey guys this is my Gen 6.5 Camry SE with the V6. I bought her in June of '11 and im absolutely in love.

BONE stock as of right now, absolutely nothing done yet but heres my to do list:

--HID's. 6000k for high and low beams, not sure what i should get for the fogs, i want something different/unique. Maybe 10,000k or 12,000k. (suggestions welcome!)

--New wheels. or maybe just get my stock SE wheels painted cuz i like them

--TRD or Eibach lowering springs to kill some fender gap (I hear they're exactly the same?)

--Roof spoiler (i love the look)

--Borla exhaust, maybe a resonator delete too.

--Delete the stock air intake's resonator and drop a K&N filter into stock box

Thats all i can think of right now but I'll be updating this thread with pics everytime i do something new. Feel free to make any suggestions!

Here's some pics:

TRD Springs and Lights ASAP!!!
After i dropped my SE on the Springs i fell in love even more, looks way better. I also got smaller tires cuz thats way to much tire. i went from 215/55/17 to 215/50/17 and i liked it even better. Tomorrow im getting new tires, im going with 225/45/17. The SE has a sports sedan look with big tires. so i changed that when my tires wore out. Your also gonna feel better handling. That wheel gap always bothered me when i would look at my SE now i cant stop staring. hahaha

I also got 6k on headlights/fogs that i love and slotted rotors. Your gonna love ur SE more when u get the lights and drop. makes it look so much better. Good luck wit the MODS's

Next MOD for me is TRD exhaust!!

Did you have to change your struts out when you got your springs? and how evenly did the springs settle?

[jay2kony]

I'd say if you got enough change saved up get a new set of rims rota grids neo chrome or something good looking pref your choice lol yes you will like 6k hid. i have 55w ballast and people complain cause i blind the heck outta them at night lol

[GeeEssVee]

Any ideas on what HID's i should get for my fogs? i want a different color but im not sure whether i should get a blue-ish color like 8,000k-10,000k or go 12,000k+ for a purple-ish color

If you do a retrofit, 55W should be no problem though a little overkill. I don't see a point to go to 55W. You can use 3000K for fog. Anything above 8000K looks "weird" to me.

Well "weird" is what i aim for
3000k fogs are just too common for me.

And i dont exactly see the point of a retrofit....

The optics were not designed for a gas discharge lamp for one thing

Nah u don't gotta change out the struts. The SE comes wit stiffer struts and work perfect on the springs. I have a perfect drop. It gives u 1 inch in front and 1.5 in the back. Since the car sits higher in the back.

I have 55w on 6k so it's a really bright ice blue color but I don't have a problem blinding ppl since I'm lower or ppl are just used to it around here since so many ppl have HID's.
An retrofit I think is the absolutely biggest waste of money, ppl here are going to act like u must and tell u a bunch of BS on why u should spend hundreds but it's to much money.
I'd say going to 10k on fogs and 6k on headlights gonna look pretty ugly but that my opinion. An where I'm from u won't be weird. Everyone here got crazy colors purple and really blue HID's

[GeeEssVee]

TouringCamry: i'll take my chances with the stock projectors and see how that goes.

Hennessy: I'm thinkin 35w 6000k for my headlights and something kinda purple for the fogs, not sure which ones though. And i dont want such a low drop on the rear, i kinda like the back higher.

Nice Camry bro!!!!!

Damn I should of copped a v6
I dont have the v6 but I the 2 delta 40 flowmasters sound like pure sex!IMO

BTW I have 8000k hids on lows and they are perfect to me....I might be getting the same for the fogs to match(maybe)

I have some vids on youtube if you want to check em out
