Camry & Solara LoungeDiscussion area for every generation of Toyota's family car, the Toyota Camry. Lexus ES250/300 owners welcome! Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance and more.
why put different tags on your car? Like said before unless there is an engine swap that is just one guy who is not proud to drive his camry. I love my car, and would never change the badges!
Hey! Don't hate on my car, yes I do have the V8 in it, though it set me back enough $$ to buy another Gen5. While it was in the garage, I did a RWD, e-shift conversion.

im jus curious do a v8 even fit in the gen 5? jus a question n i think that the lexus badges r still gay no offense...my friend did that n i ripped them off n at the moment they r glued to my wall
I agree with the others that putting badges from another brand (even if it is a Toyota product) is rather...unsightly, ghetto, or ricey (pick one). It's like putting a Skyline badge on a Civic, or a Type-R badge on a Focus.
On the conversion conversation, why in the world did you do a V8 and RWD swap? Wouldn't that ruin the car's structural and safety design? IMHO, I'd rather have saved the cash, sold the Cam, and bought an IS300 (or wait till the IS430 comes out).
I'm not decrying your work and investment, but its a wee bit mind-numbing to do all that to a Camry.
