Took some recent pics of my Camry with the new wheels
Aside from the new SSR wheels, the car is also half an inch lower than my usual ride height. This should be about a 2.25" drop from stock height. Enjoy
EDIT: Sept 7, 2005
Some new pics... Engine bay with newly added turbo heatshield and radiator top plate:

Brake lights aren't broken, I just don't brake.

god.....good pics, sweet rims and the drop is noticible from what I saw of it in reality......pic can't measure up to this thing in real life...I feel blessed to have seen it and met ya tony
Nice wheels, but you definately need some side skirts and rear bumper to match the front bumper. It looks odd having the front bumper that much lower than the rest of the car.
If he tracks it, then fine. If not, then just make the car match. I'm not familiar with the aerodynamics of camrys, but for mkII mr2's, some side skirts and rear bumpers/add ons are beneficial. Besides, it's a camry, it's not very aerodynamic and is not meant to be a sports car.
Then again, I'm SURE mud guards DON'T create drag. (sarcasm)
Knailgun, it was an honour to see your ride in person too last Saturday
BigbodyLX, I used to have Rota Subzeros too, but then I found a buyer who was willing to pay for the Rotas and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Hey pkchi, it's hard to look for mint parking lots these days... I always take my pics at Richmond Green because I live 2 mins away from it. Usually after I wash and wax the car, I do not like long trips for a photoshoot (need to keep my baby 99.9% clean for the photos)

I respect your opinions... Many others have told me the same as well.
But like Allen said, every part on my car has a purpose.
Side skirts add weight, too much money and is a liability for speedbumps, etc... It is purely for looks and most side skirts on the Gen3 ruins the factory body lines.
The mudguards do create more aero-drag, but hey, I don't need stone chips and road fall outs in the side of my car. I used to run no mud guards, but one season on the highways plus my love for burnouts really killed the paint on the doors.
One thing I must correct you is the aerodynamics of the car. The Gen3 has a drag coefficient of 0.31 in factory form, and trust me, most sports cars do not even get close to that number. Naming a few examples, '99 Mustang SVT Cobra at 0.38, Toyota Supra TT MKIV at 0.40, etc... The Rodmillen front bumper boasts increased aerodynamics, and trust me, you feel that added aerodynamics when the front-end still manages to lift up and the rear still squats as the car accelerates starting from 60 mph --> my car only by the way (300+ WHP required )
