Nice car!

When I saw the first picture, I thought to myself, I knew I saw this car somewhere....!


I'm not digging the Camry SE spoiler on the ES though. The car would look more clean with a simple lip spoiler.

Are the LED tail lights honestly any brighter than the stock lights?
How is the output from those aftermarket halo projectors? Do you have an HID kit installed? I had a set of halo projectors on my Gen 5 Camry.

thats a pretty good paint job for 650$! they'll charge that much here just to spit on the car.

sorry but i dont dig the rest, the rims, the leds all seem out of place. very high getto-ish..

IMHO,

That is quite horrible. But, if it is your car so rock on.

Aside from the wheels, spoiler, and leds around the fog lights I like it. But regardless, its your car, all that really matters is your opinion.
