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.
It is quite obvious that the Gen3 Camry and the Honda Accord share many body similarities. Now, being that it is a Honda, aka Rice Revolution, I am positive there are more exterior additions for the Accord, than the Camry. So my question is this, Do any of you wonderful people have a clue to what is capable of adding to a Gen3, with minor modifications? Such as M3 mirrors, body styling, light housings etc. . . ?
I heard that the Accord headlights (1990 - 1993) were almost the same as ours. Look on ebay for pics.

Yes only 92-94. I believe the Accord lights are a bit longer and shorter... so some good custom work will be needed. But closest fit compared to anything else out there.

I knew someone was gonna say that. I was gonna say that even ES300 aren't that close a fit. Still quite a bit of fine custom work will need to be done to the fenders and hood and bumper.
But I thought it was pretty logical! :smile:

hehe yea i know.. nothing is going to fit perfectly! i saw a pic of that gen 3 wagon w/ that conversion and i almost drooled all over myself.. thats why i had to say it :grin:
i think procarparts might make some black non-dot output housing for gen 3s though.. imo that would be just as good- dot sucks! projectors rule!
Well we're still trying to get autodynamic to make gen 3 projector headlamps... so we don't need to bother with this retrofitting sh**. Hope they respond!

i sent them an email and already hurt back. all they said was they are not avalable to purchus. so i replyed and asked how many orders to get them made. maybe ill hear back
I have put in my few words to a few companys. APC, OBX ummm.... I asked speedoptions for some help.... But I think Im going to make a project out of the head light convesion. Im going to give it a month of bugging the living sh** out of companys, maybe we should all target a few (i.e. autodynamic) and see what happens. In the mean time, Ill save up a few bux. If by the time that month is over, if there is no movement by companies of solid leads, Ill do the Accord conversion, and let you all know about the pricing. Ill probably do a bunch of that sh**, custom is where its at.
Why dont we set up a list of companys to "bombard". We can focus our attention(s) to these companies. Hell, mass email your friends and tell those faukers to email these comanies as well.
