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".
completely agree, very well said "thumbup:

every car can be worked on and give it some nice touches, and this is a prime example. even a civic can use some help and i give props to those that are done well. i never agree with those who think what they drive are mod-worthy and anything cheaper are worthless.

i always tell myself, there are people driving exotics so should they think we are crap modding our cars

My sentiments exactly. I get a kick out people that have a elitist attitude with a 30 or 40k car. Its sort of like "if you think you have the right to look down your nose at a Camry or Accord, then what does the guy driving a Lambo think of YOU??"

Bottom line is, for a real car guy, its about the CAR, not the badge

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.

Nice Camry, I'll keep my eye in this thread on how to mod my own. That kit isn't half bad actually

I've posted the pics on a couple other forums and the white one is by far the cleanest Camry most have seen.

Probably the best-looking Camry I've seen in a long time. I like the look.

Camry is a good example of a car that is attractive even when stock, car has decent lines and good proportions for a FWD car. Add selective mods such as wheel/tires/suspension, the car looks better.

Starting with a less attractive car such as the Accord does not yield the same results.

I dont think the Camry is better looking than an accord. Id say they are both about the same. Very bland and very very common
