Just wanted to let you guys know Im coming back! :lol: As you probably know my solara was totaled a week ago, so Im not even going to bother getting another car... Im going to spend about $1k on my gen 3 camry to get it back to a clean car and drive that as my daily. Ive already got a good idea of what I plan to do and how I want it to look, so im going to start ordering parts next week.

I dont have any plans for performance or making the car faster because I dont feel it is worth spending the money on it. I do want to make the exterior as clean and low as possible though, so thats what I plan to do :) I will use this thread as a project log and whatnot, but mostly just wanted to say Im back and here to stay for a while!!

Damon:cool:

here is a rough photoshop... Im not going to go with the 92-94 lights this time I dont think. I think i want to try the 95-96 lights and badgeless grille for a change :lol:



Here is what I have in mind for now:
95-96 bumper and rmm lip (black again)
95-96 stock headlights and corners
95-96 badgeless grille
amber signals? cant decide on clear or amber...
repaint of front end (fenders, hood, front bumper)
35% tint all around (maybe including windshield? gangster? :lol:)
gram lights
k-sport coilovers
fix the exhaust so it doesnt look dumb and is really quiet.

Thats the list for now, wont be much more than appearance but thats all I need and can really afford right now. No desire to put more than that into such an old and slow car, but it should be a fun project!

I too vote for the 95-96 headlights and giving Greg Cheban a pm about the gen 3.5 clear headlight lenses is a good idea... I bought it like 2 months ago... heres the pic of mine and he also painted it black for me but I recommend it for later for a projector retrofit... so buy the 95-96 headlights now and think about the clear lenses for later he only charged me $85 plus shipping...

Also I have 35% tint all around and for pics its good but in person they are kinda light...

I'm a little lost what happen to the JIC coilovers from the Solara??? Can't u use that for the camry or they got damaged???

If ur getting the k-sport coilovers I think the seller i bought it from still is around I think for like $825 or so a seller on honda-tech forums. I believe Venom and couple of other know who I'm talking about unless u got a special deal going??

Just thinking for the hell of it if doing the stock exhaust on the 4 banger just slapping on the stock V6 muffler sounded like a cool idea or is it lol???

Liking the chop a lot. Granted, I don't know what your gen 3 looked like before, but it looks very clean in the picture above :D

Im not really feeling the black gen 3 depos... I just dont really like the look of them. I didnt know about the clear 3.5 lenses, so i think Ill go that route.

My car modded about two years ago, here it is in the furthest state it ever got:

performance stuff was just struts/springs, rsb, header and catback, intake, etc... never got to far with that and dont plan to this time either :lol:

Thanks for the heads up on the headlights! its been a while since Ive been in the gen 3 scene haha.
