new to TN with a pearl white camry se!

[jroll]

hey everyone! my name is jacob and im from apple valley california. im excited to have finally joined the forums, as i am a proud new owner of a toyota camry! about 3 months ago, i sold my chevy cobalt ss, and the very next day i went out and bought my 2011 camry se! so far, i love it. the difference in quality is just so noticeable and this is surely a car that i will keep for a very long time.
anywho, since i have owned the camry, i've done just a few cosmetic mods. i got the windows tinted, carbon fiber wrapped my door pillars, installed some HIDs, got those chrome door-handle covers, welded on some exhaust tips, and found a set of bronze lancer gts rims lol!
about a month ago, i had my entire car painted. the car was
originally white when i bought it, but now it's white with a blue pearl, along with a gloss black roof, smoked tail lights, the "evo mod", and blacked-out toyota emblems. without a doubt, the body shop did an amazing job and surpassed my expectations!
in the future, i plan on getting a k&n short ram intake, black lugs, and some sort of exhaust; nothing major.
here, i posted a few photos of my car for yall to see! i'd love to hear any feedback/ opinions as well as any recommendations/ suggestions!

btw: i know lowering the car would look clean, but i don't plan on messing with the suspension in any sort of way. i experienced all that kind of fun when i owned my cobalt lol..

The camry looks great! I totally agree with you about avoiding suspension/not lowering the car. Honestly I'm not a huge fan of slammed cars

But that black roof does look good. Its a subtle difference (to me at least), but looks great!

Also, whats the "evo mod"?

thank you! and im not sure if it's considered something different here, but it's that black center peice on the front lip! i got it painted black to flow with the lower grille; like an evo or audi, if you will.

Ah, I see. I just hadn't heard it called that before. It blended with the car, I didn't even notice it wasn't stock black

Welcome to TN Jacob. That is one of the sexier and clean looking cars I've seen. Great job on keeping it tasteful.
Did they actually repaint the car or wetsand the clearcoat and spay on a blue-pearl tinted clearcoat?
How much did the paint job cost you?

thanks a lot man! i definitely just wanna maintain a clean look.. but they repainted the entire car and then added the pearl clearcoat. depending on the exposure of light, the paint almost has a vanilla tint to it now. (visible in the first pic) but the blue/ purple shine is just incredible in person! lol.
and fortunately for me, just my deducible

Nice Camry you have there!

Very good looking Camry! Welcome to TN. The painted lower valance looks good too.

Welcome! I'm not too much a fan of the black parts, but otherwise it looks good. So you're pretty much finished modding it, aside from that short list?

ill never be done personalizing and adding to it here and there, but there's really only a few things left on my list that i KNOW i want. that including an intake, some sort of exhaust, black lugs, and HIDs for the fogs. and eventually new rims lol. what else would you suggest??

[gold94corolla]

Well I wouldn't recommend HIDs for the fogs, that's no good for your own visibility and other drivers.

But I just got the feeling that when you said you don't want to do any suspension work, that you want to keep it simple and small this time. Which I think is a great idea on a new Camry, just do little things that personalize it to your tastes You've already done that nicely. I think the intake and exhaust should be your top priority!! Get some sound and response in there.
