what do you guys think??

car looks pretty plain right now since i took off the cf wing and hood and rims for winter but...its fine for the time being...for a side note does anyone know if theres a aftermarket grill for another car that will fit the gen 3 camry??

looks good but i wanna see some pix with the brake lights on full and then just dimmed both during day and night...

gotta wait till around 4 or 5 till it get dark todai...i will though..the lights look fine dont look like there faded at all when on...

and i forgot to mention how i did it...regular tint spray...applied many different light coats then one heavy coat at the end then a few coats of clear acrylic laquer...

first start by spraying across the topping going in a back in forth motion a few times...wait to for paint to get tacky before spraying next coat...then spray again over top area while slow moving down...dont move to far down just yet...you wanna do it little by little giving you a fade effect...then each coat jsut start from the top and move slow down each time you coat till satisfied...just finish up with clear coat for extra protection

Looks like a fresh bowl of rice

Use cherry-apply w/ that dark tints (and to mask off sections). As is, i dont like, looks like you re-sprayed your trunk and got some paint on your tails!

PtBaller · 12-15-2005, 01:49 PM

Let's see those projectors of yours.

sorry but i don't really like it.

it would look good if you car was two-tone panda black and white, (black on the bottom) and it was faded the other way up into the white paint. on another note your seem to be going for a dark scheme for your rear: black paint, dark tint, smoked t.lights...you should replace your shiny T emblem with a black-pearl one or just debadge and paint it.

He started a thread saying that he would be able to make projectors for everyone that was interested at $400 (or something close to that), when asked to post pictures he posted a picture of his car with Tony The Tiger's projectors photoshopped into his car.

Yeah man, whatever turns you on, but, no hard feelings K....let's just see your car's front end...don't worry if you havnt got these "projectors" or anything, lets all just get it out in the open and set the record straight. Maybe you were going through a rough patch in your life, thats all ok man..lets just see your car as a whole.
