Good looking Camry. The finish is awesome on the white.

Even with a body kit and being lowered, the Camry's design looks like it is riding so high and top heavy.

Very nice wheels!

The front of the new Camry looks strange to me, looks like someone melted the center grill and bumper.

I once had a friend who owned a black Camry. He named her "Rosie." And he spelled it, "Camery." I'll never forget that.

Again with the snobbish comments. It doesn't matter if it's a Camry, it's a great looking car. At a quick glance it could be identified as a 3GS.

It could use at least another inch of drop. It looks so high off the ground even with the OEM lip kit. I really like how the new Camry SE's look with the new front end and LED tails.

Oh man, thanks for the kind responses guys. I just can't wait to see this car complete, with some mods that will tie in and give is a semi black and white theme.

Some of you want to see the car lower? lol, you guys are crazy, you want to see this thing tucking. Maybe we will slam it for the first show of the season, there is a TON of height adjustment with the D2RACING coillovers.

Not a big fan of these cars although I think its are the best looking generation. Love the wheels and stance. Pictures are a little dark though.

I didn't plan on responding to this post but I think I have found a diplomatic way to counter your position.

There are car enthusiast that no matter what type of car they own they can still appreciate when someone else has built a car worth some recognition. Most of the guys on this forum are exactly as explained above; therefore they are expressing positive feedback about a nice looking car.

To put things in prospective for you, this is still a brand new fully loaded car with a sticker price of $35,000. Last time I looked a 2007 3gen GS can be had for approx the same money, so there really isn’t a reason you should be looking down on this camry.

I hope this helps you to understand why we picked a camry to be "worked".

Thanks guys for all the kind words, we really appreciate it!

This car is owned by the same person that had the grey one that we posted a month or so ago. He got into a 2010 because the car works well for him.

When we put these wheels on the car, I started thinking about a damn Camry! lol

Car guys can appreciate ALL cars, and we are car guys!
