Nice on the projectors, but I think I'm going to retrofit some projectors. You're off to good start man, now drop that bitch!

Twiztedxtasy · 02-06-2012, 09:18 AM

Good start! IMO I'd lose the emblems but hey, do your thing. And yes, she's begging for a drop!

Camry=MYCAR - I got it from this old Camry commercial. There were a few Gen 3's doing this emblem swap on Cardomain a while back - where the "CAMRY" goes right across the trunklid.

I would have shaved the emblems too, but I wanted to be unique with the MYCAR thing

I was having fun when the emblems were off , but I figured this may be to possessive:

I love my soft riding Camry, and will be keeping the stock suspension. I am going to get some rims (17's ?) to fill up those wheel gaps, and possibly an OEM lip kit and call it a day. I need ideas here.

Some fogs will really complete the front in my opinion!

As far as wheels go, maybe you could just get some nice OEM looking 16" alloys or 17's with fatter tires than usual.

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 02-06-2012, 10:13 PM

No matter what size rim you get, unless you lower it, you won't fill up the gap.

SilverBullet · 02-07-2012, 08:11 AM

How'd you hook up the spoiler 3rd brake light? I can't figure out how because mine didn't come with clips just straight wire.

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 02-07-2012, 09:30 AM

Just hard wire it into the brake wires. or get wire taps.

fatngs · 02-07-2012, 10:54 AM

my camry came pre-wired for a spoiler..... i noticed a drk green & white wire attached to the trunk lid and i looked up the wire diagram and its the brake light wires.... now i just gota get a spoiler lol

Check out 1:54 in my DIY spoiler install video in post #2. There is a wire with a white connector under the trunk lid that give 12v when the brakes are pressed. In my case, I used the supplied splice connectors to connect it to my spoiler light, then disabled the rear deck 3rd brake light.

That's fine, I just want it to have a decent clean look with a soft ride, hence I was thinking silver or chrome wheels with P215/55R17 rubbers. What do you suggest? Anyone know where I can source decent rims in Canada?

What about an OEM style lip-kit, any ideas on those?

Thanks

what kind of led light strip is used for the dome and the headrest?

I used an LED strip for all my interior LED mods. They come in 5 meter rolls off ebay, "waterproof white 5050 300 SMD LEDs". You can cut them up every 2", and solder wires to the ends.
