Well, I put a deposit on a '04 Camry LE today. It's gonna be a Phantom Grey w/ Sunroof, Special Edition package (18" BBS and Sportivo bodykit), and a 5spd....

So I tell my friends about it, and that i plan on tweaking the suspension for auto-x'ing, and they all shake there heads....

I ask you...Why Not

?

Sportivo Body kit? How did you manage that? And your locayed in Tampa?

Hate to break ya down but

RiceRocket · 05-16-2004, 09:08 PM

Hmmmmm....If's not the Sportiva kit, than what is it?

Here are 2 pictures of the Demo we drove....the one I ordered looks EXACTLY like this, except it is a 5spd and has a sunroof.

And to think I saw about 15 more Camry's with the same package on the lot.

Maybe I'm wrong?

You can call it a TRD unoffically, but offically, it just called a body kit. The Sportivo body kits are only in Australia and maybe (slim chance) a few other countires outside N/A. Here is a pic of the Sportivo Aero Kit with the mesh grille.

Looks alot cleaner IMHO

RiceRocket · 05-16-2004, 09:40 PM

Being that I have yet to see the KIT anywhere on the internet, I just compared it to the poor quality pictures that I have of the Sportivo Kit. Seeing as how it's installed at the port...just figured Sportivo. God knows the TRD site is useless sometimes. BTW....I don't like the one in the picture above (except the grill....which I will be getting). In the picture on my site, you probably can't notice the rear deck "lip"....much cleaner.

are you saying that you plan to put TRD Scion TC supercharger on the camry? or you own a Scion as well? The first does not make sense at all..

The Scion Tc has a 2.4l vvti mated to 5spd tranny. It's my understanding that it is the EXACT same motor in the 2004 camry. So, other than some modifications.....it SHOULD fit. hell....a V6 fits under that hood.

So yes, to answer your question, I am considering putting a TRD Scion SC on a Camry.

The mesh grille, is only available in Aussie. The US only offer the standard grille and a really weird grille for the Limited Edtion Camrys

Here is another pic of the Areo Kit

Well, I've imported alot of Cisco stuff from Australia...so I don't think getting a grill should be too hard. Doesn't Pacific Toyota ship?

As long as Toyota does not screw over the Camry community and give the tC a different ECU the superhcarger for the tC will work on the Camry.

They did that to the Avalons and ES that shared the 1MZ with the Camry.

I think we have a winner....

wierd how neither TRD nor Molly Designs show the kit for the G5 Camry.

Thank you for clearing that up. Out of curiosity....is that a Sportivo Grill on your car?
