New Toyota Camry: how to make it look sporty but not ricey

[[r]ichkri3g]

thread title should be self-explanatory. and btw, saan ok magpa repaint? the camry in subject is black, owner wants to repaint it white.

[hominid]

Sorry pero ganda na ng Camry, unless marami dyang meron.

[[r]ichkri3g]

medyo mukhang ''classy'' kasi ang porma ng new camry, gusto nung owner na mag mukhang pang binata yung porma. but not the sporty type na with OA body kits with huge rear wings.

[ILuvDetailing]

why didn't the owner get the white variant instead of the black? for me repainting a brand new car is a complete waste of money, unless you're filty rich.

Get aftermarket wheels, its the only upgrade you'll need.

i think at first he liked it black, then he apparently saw a couple of white camrys on the road so he eventually craved for a white one.

any painting shops you can recommend? pag ganon, washover lang ba ang kailangan or the strip to metal (or whatever it's called) thing?

I believe the method is called scrape-to-metal. Anyhow, black paint is sporty compared to white and repainting a Brand New Car is ricey.

just my 2 cents.

Then after he paints his camry white, he sees a blue camry, he will want to paint it blue.

+1000.

Terrible waste of money.

With a washover of that type, if you don't want it to look "masagwa", they'll have to take everything off (accessories, interior, engine bay items, etcetera), to spray the entire body.

No "strip to metal" here... it's a waste on a new car... they'll just prep and paint over the current coat.

- retain the original black paint (black is sportier than white)
- get bigger and wider aftermarket wheels
- aftermarket exhaust tips (not bolt-on type)
- remove all badges from the car
- remove all chrome trim or (properly) paint them over to body color but retain the chrome front grille.
- lower the ride a couple of inches

I'd go with these except the exhaust tip. Go with gunmetal grey rims with a polished lip, cheap tires but with aggressive treads, and that's it.

sir, can you recommend good aftermarket lowering springs for a new camry?

sporty pala ang gus2 bket camry ang binili?? andami nman sporty-type car... civic, mazda3, khit vios or city...

IMO: camry is a luxury car and should not be converted to a sporty one kc magiging OA tlga ang dating... mawawala ung essence ng pagka "executive car" ng camry...

but the owner still decides... gudluck dude!

[[r]ichkri3g]

same camry being sold here locally... with the right modifications, IMHO it looks both sporty & classy at the same time

[Horsepower]

If he's looking for a sporty exec sedan, he should've purchased a BMW 530d (E60). Looks alone is wild, top speed of 323kmh (ecu unlocked), 255kmh (ecu speed-limited). 0-100 in 8 seconds. 21km/L.

He can put thinner and wider rubber, don't lower it (looks like ricey teen plus our roads aren't exactly race track pristine), put a turbo, chip the ECU, upgrade the brakes. So at least, it looks like a sleeper. But it will never go near as fast (off the line and on roll) as the 530d. E60 M5 is better than 530d but that's a bit far in terms of price range but if he can afford it, better.

All of the above except removing all the badges. I think that leaves the car looking bland. If you're getting wheels that is chromed, wag naman masyado. Polished lips can do or ok lang kung chrome lahat pero minimalist ang design.

If there is another design for the front grille, change it, but keep the chrome in it.

Eventually, ganito ang magiging itsura nyan. Take note, hindi ito Camry but a Crown Athlete. Halos kahawig lang.

^^ok na ok yan!!

[ale828]

Tell him to sell the Black camry to me and buy a white one na lang. hehe
Bigger aftermarket wheels and take out all the chrome or have it repainted body color.
But lowering springs. Try Eibach or H&R for more luxury ride. Tein is also good for a more sporty ride. No tint. he can also add in aftrermarket kits.
