I don't know if its legal but I like it!
It seems like he has all the necessary lights with proper reflectors though....

mm.. I think it should be okay..
That car looks so nice... .

Yea man, that car has got to be the nicest camry I've ever seen in my life!!!
Do you guys know what kind of paint I have to use, does it have to be some sort of high heat paint.... Or can I just go to Can Tire and buy a can of paint that will match my car and paint it???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Wow! That car is nice, my guess it is legal because as mentioned, it looks like the proper reflectors are there. Paint wise, I think best is to just ask the man what he got :grin: Then u'll know what he has w/o risking puttin some other color on ur car.

I was thinking of doing the same...

It doesn't look like paint.
Are you sure that isn't an overlay over the tail lights?

BoogieMan · 07-17-2002, 05:42 PM

pretty sure its paint, otherwise it would stick out

yes, it is legal as long as the 50 can see the red brake lights and the signals. my friend painted his the same color as his car and it came out fine. he just used regular hobby paint and then clearcoated them for the finished look to match his car paint. but with any mod, a jerk cop can pretty much pop you for anything. i am talking about cali cops tho.

why don't you ask the owner himself? he frequents CMPL and TeamSC3 forums. i forgot what nick he goes by... i think it's "camry95".

I think it looks sweet.....except for the wing. But other than that it's one kick ass camry. One of the best I have seen.

that's Jaime's car (camry95) from c-spec. if i remember correctly, he said he placed vinyl over the lights and pained them to get that. but you can always check with him to confirm
