Looking good love your head unit :thumbsup:

 

thanks man, yeah i love that double din, i inspired another member on here to buy it too. lol

 

looking good there man!

liking the fact you stuck with OEM style LED taillights :thumbsup:

 

Thanks bro. I still love how your ride looks.
Yes sir...trying to keep it looking oem as possible and classy. I see you got the oem led tails too right?

 

Hey how much did you spend on your SE grille? I've been looking to switch to an SE grille for my '11 LE myself but they're kind of pricey. The OEM SE grilles for the 2010s and 2011s have been going for over $165 on eBay the past couple of months :facepalm:

 

I paid $79 shipped off ebay, its hard to come by i searched like every other day and finally found a black oem one and it was in great condition besides like 1 broken tab.

 

Switch out the oem shift knob with the Lexus is-f shift knob i got off ebay new for 90 bucks. lol I don't mind the height. It also fits perfectly in my hand, the OEM one was kind of big. lol

 

That looks amazing

 

.

 

Your is coming along nicely..keep up the good work !!!!!!!!
There is nothing like having an HID retrofit, and I do like the Lexus IS-F shift knob !!!
Glenn

 

thank you kind sir, yup i love the retrofit i got it from John aka Lasgnman i forget his username but its something like that. I love the lexus is-f shift knob too.

 

Your car looks great! A long list of mods you have there. I really like the IS-F shift knob you installed.

I'm out of the retrofitting hobby... I gave most of my extra Gen6 headlights and parts to the trash can to make space in my garage. But I did save some of the internal white clips, projectors, and brackets - just in case. If you decide to build your own retrofit and find yourself needing parts, let me know - I just might have what you need.

 

Thanks John! Yeah i began to mod slowly and i love the IS-F shift knob too.

Really i guess the last retrofit you did was your gen 6.5 then? Did you get into a new hobby? lol. Thanks i will def hit you up if i ever try my own retrofit.

 

Update:

New retrofit, just got them yesterday retrofitted by Jay at Lightmodz in New Jersey. Enjoy!

Headlight retrofit (low beams):
RX330 Projectors with blue painted shields
TSX-R Clear lenses
Morimoto 3Five Ballast (35w)
Osram Xenarc 66040 (4300k) bulbs
High beams: Mtec super white (4350k) bulbs
Blackout housings
Morimoto relay harness

I also shorten my shifter, I'll get pics of that too.
If anyone is interested in my old retrofit, pm me. They are Solara HID projectors with BMW E30 Clear Lenses, D4S Philips XenEco 42402 Bulbs, OEM Denso slim ballast, and Painted blue shields.

 

Also just ordered the RKS ground effect kit

 

hey that guy jay is a really good friend with my guys over at autocouture in fairlawn...my friend showed me these lights and i had no idea they were yours! i want him to retro fit mine like that! :thumbsup:

 

Haha really that's what sup man. I basically spent the whole day in Paterson, NJ on Saturday. I guess it really is a small world. haha Who showed you my lights? Jay is a great guy and knows his shit.

:thumbsup:Looks great!

Thanks John, couldn't have done it without your blue painted shields. Thanks for everything too.

Wow your headlights are looking real real nice!

Can I ask how much you paid?

Btw is it just me or does the waffle lens cover on the turn signal look soo out of place.
When I did my black housing I took out the cover and never put it back in.
I wish I had a clear lens for the turn signal..

But yeah the cutoff looks real nice with the beam output, go to a bigger empty parking lot and let's see it light up the place man.

Yes pics on the shortening the shifter, you know it :thumbsup:

Thanks bro, man I love these retrofits.

He originally quoted me 250 for the retrofit, 100 for the blackout on the housing, and 50 for the projector tweaking. Although, since he never retrofitted a Camry headlight before, it took him longer then expected. He charges $80/hr and I was waiting there for most of the day, so I was glad he hooked me up and charge me what he quoted. After it was all said and done I gave him 450. Practically took the whole day and I got there at 9am. Took me like 1.5-2 hrs to get there. He even threw in extra sealant too. I washed my car yesterday after I installed them and everything was all good He is all around awesome guy and knows his shit too. He does other work too besides retrofits, like 3m vinyl wrapping and etc. Breakdown of how much my retrofit costed:

Used my OEM headlights-$0
Retrofit labor- $450
Used Morimoto 3five ballast-$80
RX330 Projectors-$100
TSX-R Clear lens, Osram D2S bulbs, Painted blue RX330 shields- $60 (Bought all of these items from John aka LNGasMan, he had extra parts laying around and hooked me up!)
Morimoto relay harness- $35

So if you add that up I guess i paid $725 for the my retrofit. Keep in mind I bought everything used from hidplanet besides the morimoto relay harness I bought new from TRS. So it would have costed more. Overall I am very happy with this setup.

I don't think the turn signal cover looks funny, I had him paint the inside black too, and left half of it chrome reflector so it looks smoked. So yours had no covers at all?

Yeah I love the cutoff and light out put. It has the color flicker effect when I hit a bump.

Finally the pics of the shorten shifter with lexus is-f shift knob.

 

:thumbsup:Looks great!

Also have a video of the retrofits at night. Sorry for the quality, took it with my phone. My cousin was driving and I was recording. I also had a nasal congestion you can hear me breathing in the background haha.

To me, the turn signal lens cover just makes the car look so old lol.
I wish they did a better job of hiding it like on every other car including gen6.5

The halos came with a clear lens cover.

So when I black housing'd my set, i left the clear reflectors out.
My car's in the shop right now getting the bumper and lip repainted but the closest picture i have is

But i mean it's just cause i have OCD about these things and it's just my preference,
and either way

IT'S ALL GOOD :chug:

I love the blue shield, really clean at night. :thumbsup:
and the IS-F knob is sweet!

let's get some videos of the light output from inside the car yes?:naughty:

 

Haha yeah I know what you mean bro, but it doesn't really bug me that much. I can't wait to get my RKS kit and have it installed. I have ocd about some things too, so I know where you're coming from. Yeah the blue shield is nice, but that's not what makes the blue cutoff. The clear lenses and proper spacing of the shield is what makes the cutoff colors. That's more for looks.

Your next project should be a retrofit!

I don't have a good camera to catch all the light output. Pics never do justice, you just have to see it in real life. haha I'll try to take a video from inside the car though.

Thanks for the compliments.

 

my friend marco that works at autocouture showed me these

 

haha that's awesome man!

 

so jay did everything in one day?

 

yes, he had never did a retrofit on a camry before so it took longer then expected, but at the end of the day I left with my retrofit. Bro it was a longgg day but it was worth the wait. haha I brought in my OEM headlights, because I currently had a retrofit installed on my car already. But if you want him to take the bumper off and use the headlights on your car it will be another $80. I'm very happy with the results

Lol probably notttt.

I have many many projects coming up before Toyotafest :thumbsup:
well not many many "projects" but there are going to be some changes.:naughty:

And sorry for not knowing what the blue shield does lol no clue :disappoin on retrofit stuff.

but really interested in seeing the light output from the inside of the car!

Haha I wish i could go to toyotafest. :\ can't wait to see what you got planned bro

It's all good haha, we all have gray areas in some subjects.

I'll try to get a video but it will probably won't do justice since I don't have a good camera. :/

 

These came in today....

 

daaaaaaaaamn man that retrofit makes me jealous haha...gotta do that soon

congrats on the kit man, you're gonna love it :thumbsup:

 

Haha thanks bro! You definitely need to hop on the retrofit club, once you go retrofit you will never go back to halogen. It's one of the best mods you can do to your car, benefits in various ways.

I'm jealous of your coilovers, haha. :lol:

Yeah I can't wait to have the kit painted and installed. :clap:

Ooo rk sports kit? primered though right? not painted yet

yes sir, and yup not painted yet. Getting them painted and installed next week. I'll post pics once its installed :naughty:

 

Ooo rk sports kit? primered though right? not painted yet

 

Your car has a clean classy look to it, I am looking forward to seeing your kit painted and installed, your car is going to look great with the kit, although it does already !!!

Glenn

 

Thank you sir! That's the look I'm going for clean and classy, trying to not over do things. I know I can't wait either but the guy won't be able to do it until next week, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait! :naughty:

 

Can't wait to see the kit on. :thumbsup:

 

thanks bro! me either!

 

Just ordered some LED reverse lights

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150547736378?item=150547736378&viewitem=&vxp=mtr#ht_4476wt_1396

Also just ordered a Odyssey 35-PC1400 Battery

http://www.batterymart.com/p-ody-35-pc1400.html

 

Woo! can't wait to see pics :]

 

2 more teaser pics. The guy painting it is taking his time to do a great job on it. The rear valance and front valance was bent due to how they packaged it to ship. So he had to use heat to straighten it out over night, and then now he is in the process of prepping it for painting. Also found some molding flaws that he had to fix too. I can't complain he's charging me 400 to paint and install it. If it goes accordingly, I should have the kit installed on Sunday, I can't wait!!
