Hey guys,
I just bought my wife a new Camry.
I wanted to get an aftermarket stainless, or chrome grill for it, but am having problems finding these products.
Can you point me in the right direction?
thanks,
DK

My guess would be E-bay. Try looking there.

you can sand the grill down, the paint will come off.... follow up with some high grit paper, maybe some polish.

but im not a fan of bling bling.

I saw one on E-bay last week, it was tubular stainless steel and the Toyota emblem was still visible, looked great. I wanted to buy one from a vendor. I am figuring another 6-8 months there will be all kinds of styles available.
I was going to put the grill on, and have the wheels chromed, just to give it a more luxurious look. But after washing it yesterday, I noticed the alloy wheels match the color of car almost perfectly.

Thats not the one that I saw on E-bay. It had bigger tubular bars, and the toyota emblem was notched out of it. I was really impressed with the way it looked.

Looks like the civic custom grilles but looks good anyway.

Is it just me, or does it seem that with each new generation of Camry, the Camry seems to get bigger and fatter?

bigger, fatter, less sporty, and more ugly Buick/Domestic style interior. The gen 5 interior looks just like a Buick/Domestic. They need to make it *look* more like the accord and new solara. the camry sedan would be 100% better with the new solaras interior.

Thanks.. My gen 5 isnt really a bad car to drive.. I actually had my Ferrari mechanic take it for a test drive on his course and he said it handled pretty good for a big car and the only thing he saw it needed was bigger brakes.. so that made my day.. the car isnt half bad.. til you start looking for aftermarket parts.. heh..

that's the sportivo grill.

there's going to be a limited edition camry. http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/2004/camry/exterior.html one of the pictures shows a new optional chrome grille.
