Hey guys, what do you all think? I probably should have blacked the chrome inside the headlights, but i left them out... now it's half black.

And the front bar is just half done so far, but I'm not to fussed about it. Been busy with other stuff.

I honestly think it looks great so far!

Only concern is the dip in the middle. I'm not sure what your plans for it are but i think it would look nice if you molded it to look like the rest of the bumper, giving it that classic ES look. All in all your work looks fantastic, can't wait to see the final project!

Also, you gonna do a whole camry kit for the rest of the car or stop with the front bumper?

Thanks man, I don't know what I'll do next paint wise, weather just redo the lower part of the car or not...

Yeah when I feel like it, I will mold it all together, as I've got a bit of a crack on the side at the top there, and yeah, the centre needs to flow with the rest. Front is heaps bigger though now.

And I don't think the whole Camry kit would look good on the ES. I don't know, might turn it into a wide body if I did hhaha!

Hmm, blacked housings wouldn't be too bad but you have to leave a little part of it chrome so it would reflect sideways. Depending on the color you choose, it may be best to black them out. I have a "Gold Panda" theme going on with my car currently and smoked housings looks good. I plan to do flat black very soon since the glare that comes from the chrome shooting up is annoying for other drivers...
