SE bumper cover on 05 camry LE ???

Hi,

I have an 05 camry and I'd like to install a fog light for it so I'm looking for an SE camry cover.

I found a SE cover sold on ebay and just wondering they do a good job on painting and they offer the best price compare to other place, this is a link:

Anybody have experience with this, please be advice.

Thanks

i would be skeptical of the quality of both the bumper and paint at that price. they don't state if they use aftermarket or oem... the former might have fitment issues. i paid $400 to get my SE bumper painted and that was a high quality job... so you have to ask yourself if a $240 painted bumper is really going to be high quality.

It's much cheaper to use your existing bumper cover. Cut the holes open and make your own brackets for the driving lights. That's what I did and it looks just like factory.

There is no way that the cover in that auction is OEM. I'd pass on that deal.

id just keep your oem bumper cover and cut the holes and fit the foglights...works the same since SE has the same bumper as LE anyway
the full foglight kits with all needed supplies are for sale on ebay all the time

Thank you for your replied.

That's what I 1st thought I would do but I afraid It wouldn't look like the factory SE bumper since the cut hold for the fog light does not have a shaft outer edge.

Anyway, What did you use to cut the holes ? do you have any pics so I can take a look and have an idea how's going to look like ?

Thanks again.
