i have a 96 camry 4cycl auto and a 93 ES v6 5 speed.

The v6 is nothing near fast but the 4 cycl camry is dangerously slow. Esp. when you try to merge on a short nyc highway ramp with 4 passengers on board and the a/c blasting. LOL just imagine my nervous thoughts of getting rear ended!

BTW, your camry is gorgeous. You should put a TRD lip kit on it and paint it the same color is the lower cladding. It would look so swt!

I have been looking for a TRD lip-kit for months, but they are extremely rare and even harder to get one for a decent price. I'm gonna keep my eye out, but until then I do plan on getting some IS300 rims to give my car a sportier look. Eventually i will get a TRD kit, but i gotta find one at the right time and place.

I remember seeing awhile back some guy on ToyotaNation was selling a bunch of them for very cheap. Like 450 or 500 for the full kit. Have you looked around the for sale threads at TN?

Yeah I usually browse daily and sometimes see a few pop up. I gotta get me some $$$ before I can get a kit.
