I honestly forget about having done the show MMR and its always weird seeing people checking out the car and if I'm around they say "Hey this car was on TV" lol. Since the wheels changed people are looking a little harder trying to piece it together.

Thanks guys...I'm modded lightly compared to some of the other guys but the car gets some really amazing compliments from people. Just yesterday on the way to a friends the wife and I are driving on the freeway and this one guy in a Benz CL just paces me looking and when I looked over he looked away...then paces again ...on a connector ramp a guy in a new Chrysler 200 or so gives the thumbs up...the last one was pretty cool cause we are merging and all of the sudden this Camry slows and paces us then all the windows drop and we get like 5 thumbs up from everyone in the car and waves... Its kind of odd to me b/c this car is old now but I guess people can appreciate clean style in a day of just ugly cars all over the gotdamn place

My wife says she gets the same thing when she drives but maybe its b/c she's hot So now I think she wants BBK for RX lol

I'm not stanced, I'm not track, I'm not VIP..I'm just me

That's what its all about Mike!!! It might have been said before but what size tires did you end up going with? Also the ride is perfect for someone that's classy, elegant and yet sporty.

The 3GS really is a beautiful design that should age well, and you have taken it to the next level with your subtle mods. These cars still catch my eye on the road. Very nice! Your white 2GS was also well done IMO.

I love all of the mods bro, you've always been an inspiration. I wish i had more hands so I can give you more thumbs up! lol. Your car is awesome. Can't wait to see what's to come on this and the 2GS.

Seriously though, why not a pair of nice tips to go with everything else?
