Well just made the new ride look a lil sportier. Lowered it on some H&R Springs. I love the stance, as its perfect for daily driving. Other mods already done are a CompuStar 2 way Remote Start. Future items are 35% tint all around, Fujita CAI, and Vibrant Exhaust Can and tip with Cherry Bomb resonator (Have heard on a few other forums, not very raspy, nice low tone).
Well onto the pics.

comments and criticism's welcome...and because this is the jbo, i know there will be more criticisms
Not unintentionally accelerating since 2009!!!!
TRD makes a beautiful dual cat back for those cars. Just an idea!
I cant quite see the exhaust setup.. 2.4L or 3.5L?
I would love to get my hands on an SE someday.

All stock...........lol.
wheel gp cut down by 1.6 inches...i have pics somewhere on the forum of when i first picked it up.
Im modding it cuz I can...and for no other reason.
Its a 2.4 4cyl and a 5 speed manual trans....pretty rare around these parts.
TRD waaaaaaaay too expensive...and i dont really like the sound that much. Im getting the vibrant can tip and the resonator for 130 shipped. i dunno about a high flow cat yet though. And then all i gotta do is bring it to the shop and have the pipes bent for a few more bux. All said and done it wont be more than $300-$350 at the very most. TRD is like 4-600 even with me getting it at cost becaus i work for a dealer.

Nice!
My step-mom drives a new red one too, it's comfy.
I hardly ever see 4cyl 5 speeds at work too. I see quite a few old body 6cyl with 5 speeds. Those are a treat.
TRD is always expensive although there springs give a great drop!

The trd springs give about the same drop...not quite as low...about a .2" difference. But from all the toyo forums im on they say the trd's tend to sag and give an uneve drop. Plus i stole these. A kid in vegas had em on his camry for lik 5-6000 miles and i bought em for $120 shipped.
I had to go to Maryland to pick this car up on swap in Annapolis. Well worth it. The New York Region doesn't get em....you cant even really build em on Toyota.com.

wheels would make it look like off the hook with that drop.

Thanx Brian...I'm looking at some TSW Mondello's in HyperBlack...
18's is what I'm thinking. Maybe a slightly highwe sidewall profile to fill in the wheel gap a lil more.

my best friend has a 3.5 and those things are quick. Even though he just through 22's on it it still looks good we should be lowering it slightly soon. I love the Camrys and I hope to have a manual transmission one someday, I love the stock rims they have on them too...even though I think they should be lowered a little more I can dig it.
Its a 2.4 right? I think I only see a single exhaust set up and the 3.5 SE comes dual with chrome tips which fit beautifully into the rear lip.
Continue the good work
Yeah the 3.5 has the duals. but now if you get a 2010 you get a 2.5 with a 6spd manual available and 20 more horsepower and dual exhaust....damnit i shoulda waited

What he's saying, is buy someone else's modded car and trash talk 4 cylinder's on j-body.org and other econo-car sites.

Must be the pictures or the wheels because TRD springs seam lower in person. Oh well.
I have yet to see a 2.5L with a 6 speed manual.. I hope thats true. All we have had are 6 speed autos.

Sounded a bit more dickish than I meant, but I like it, and you're the one driving it daily so enjoy it.

there was no trash talk on my part. obviously there is on your's. i have no problem with people modding anything they have, i still happen to have a dd base cobalt which may see some mods some day. you just don't see bigger, base-model, dd cars being modded very often, so i asked a simple question. if offense was taken, none was meant. no reason to be a dick about it.
