Anyone installed the bodyside molding on their gen 6 camry? How difficult is to install?

Its not hard at all. I added side molding to my RAV4 but not my XLE

I would recommend going through your dealer parts department and get the color matched set as your link appears to only have Black. . One key item is to make sure you put the right side molding on the right side and don't get the sides mixed up.

Here is a link to the installation instructions.

I bought and installed this same molding (different color) from the same vendor and it was super easy. Instructions are included, the paint matched perfectly and you would never guess it wasn't installed by the dealer.

funny you ask, i installed them this am, took 20 minutes, it is nce to have a second help to make sure masking tape is tight so it does not sag, then you simply peel and stick carefully, looks nice, ONE NOTE, i would have installed them one inch lower than in the directions if i knew in advance, simply looks a tad bit too high IMO

Cool thanks. Imight just get one to install. The camry does look a bit bare w/o it.

this is what it looks like installed, like I said, if it was 1 inch lower i think it would look better, also I got mine from ebay, deland toyota and part number was sl difrent and looks difrent than the one at toyota site, but paint matches and it looks fine ....

Summerwind, do you have a link to the instructions for installing the factory spoiler?

I bought a roll of trim then cut it and installed myself.

Sorry I don't.. You might see if your Toyota parts dept can print them out.

My XLE came with the spoiler so I didn't look into how it is installed.

That looks good but it doesn't serve it's purpose of protecting against door dings.

Looks good!

I think I will place the order on it. I can't remember, but anyone remember the toyota part website that is usually mentioned here?

Not the www.toyotapartstore.com, the other one..i saw it on there for under 90 bucks the other day and can't remember the website now.

You're correct as far as protection. I just copy the look of the Lexus....it has the BSM exactly the way I had on mine. (it was chrome too) I like that look so much that why I did it.

Where did you get those chrome trimmings. They look really nice.

Burnes, can you tell me where can I purchase the chrome trimming and can you give me the dimension of the trimmings that they come in. They look really nice on your car. Thanks.

Realistically speaking moldings serve more decorative function then door protection.
