2007 Camry LE- Poor fit and finish-bumpers

[jeffreywkim]

I just bought a 2007 Camry and don't know if any of you that bought a 2007 Camry also notice the front bumpers, particularly on the corners do not align very symetrical. In words, one side there is a gap while the other side there is not. Car is brand new, absolutely never been tapped or hit. also, the headlights had to be adusted because one was higher than the other, making a crooked line when turned on at night. Another thing I had to do was get my car aligned. From the factory it was not aligned properly. It was a hair off but still. then my latest beef is the front suspension, the control arm and the rest of the parts are so thin and cheap. No wonder it probably doesn't take much to throw taht out of alignment. I am not that pleased wtih teh workmanship. car runs great but suspension parts seem cheap.

sad thing, only time will tell how reliable these total redesigns are. You're the ginny pig Jeff. =P

I dunno, the body panel/bumper fit of my factory ordered 03 TMK built Camry SE is pretty crappy too.

No lie, the front quarter panel and edge of the drivers door rubbed together from day one making a groaning, and light popping sound when operating opening the door. After awhile, I found the cause to be a combination of excess sheet metal from the qtr panel, and piss poor fit, allowing contact with the door edge. A few moments with a screwdriver took care of the problem.

Comparing the fit and finish of this US built Camry to my Japanese built 94 Camry is absolutely laughable. Besides fit and finish, the 03 is a rattle trap compared to my older Camry with over 3x's the mileage (155k).

Well also, the control arm on the camry as I found out is so paper thin! Terrible and cheap!
