some guy did it on his Gen.3 sedan, you might wanna do a search...

because i cant remember his name right now...


on a coupe, it'll look okay...

but remember, your car is round, DONT get a skyline wide body kit, or anything squarish...

I personally wouldn't The Camry has a really smooth look to it already. Wide body (even like the one above) look a little weird on Camrys.

And having a coupe, your luck. It's not as common. I'd keep it the way it is.

Those aren't flairs. Unless they had custom made flairs. I haven't ever seen any that go that far our, and that fit that well to the body. There full fenders. Custom at that.

Body flares look better on smaller cars (celicas, echos etc).

I like the way the front fenders are stock, but if you were to keep the same lines, just an inch or two wider, I think that'd be cool. And try to get some sort of style going on on the rear fenders... they're so plain, but no extreme angles like that M1 Camry

no no guys i mean im goona cut the fender right next to the bend at the hood/fender seam and then trace the back of my corner lights.....that said...

I will then weld in a very long / thin triangle of sheet metal so the fender keeps its factory look but the back edge is 2" further out (wider) and the front edge is origional....
Cutting behind the light to ensure i don't kink the metal.....

I'll also have to widen the bottom of the back edge near the rocker.

and yess wheel spacers will be a definite requirement.

im thinking of doing the same fer the back of the fenders too
not sure tho....
maybe a continental kit????(fill in the wheel well opening?)

I believe it was Henry Bui that was doing the widebody kit...he's been at it for awhile, not sure what ever happened to that project.

The car will probably like crap if you put spacers in the back...by leaving the front stock, it's gonna change the whole stance of the car....

I know it's a waste of money, but IMO it looks pretty good. Very agressive.
