The car looks great man. My only suggestion would be to paint the rims.

Angel eyes have to be custom made. There's tons of DIY instruction floating around here. Do a search.

i like the rims, contrasting colors look nice. The cobra eyes arent my thing though. As for the grill, a few gen 3 guys have custom grills that you might want to check out.

The car looks clean. One of the better looking gen 3's I've seen. You should bring it to the San Diego Meet this month.

Very nice ride. I'm looking to re-spray my black camry in a couple of months when the funds show up.

ima gonna try an respond to all your comments in one thing...

as for the rim color .. i thought about paintin them GLOSS black but the funds weren't there so...whatever i just painted all the vent grills on the body kits white and there ya go it looks like it all matches...

the rims ARE 17 inch i don't know why they look small but i agree i would bet that if i had 18's they would look bigger only 1 inch funny huh? oh well

the green led's? well i like em and....i dunno....i didn't keep my stock washers so i gots to keep em...oh well it's just another light to play with on my switchplate...

yes my exhaust is 2.75 or 2.5 whatever i forget specifically but yes it's in that ballpark i don't know why that's a surprise...i obviously know camry's aren't the fastest thing ever ESPECIALLY the 4 banger so whatever...

WHEN IS THE MEET IN SAN DIEGO? WHERE? WHAT TIME? DATE? lemme know

gimme your DIY info on how to do the angel eyes and what design would look best for my camry?!? thanks

i have the regular cyber style back bumper in fact the WHOLE kit is cyber style i got it from a local shop in oceanside called pro custom...

as for the grill...well...it's all i got cuz i totally trashed my stock one tryin to do somethin custom i'm a dipshit i know it so that's what i got to play with...i know it's a home depot grill but whatever.

Paint job was 500 dollars....one suggestion to anyone thinkin about saving money on dings, creases or dents or whatever....don't do it yourself unless your are highly experienced with bondo and sanding and grating and all that shit, i thought i could do it and i did ok BUT i messed up on a dent and and it turned out wavy you can't see it from the pictures but there are a few spots on the car that are iffy....plus with the color black not only do you see ever speck of dust BUT you see ever dent that is in your car....so...yea
