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

[empy]

it's gonna be tough to make a Camry look "sporty". it's a plain vanilla commuter sedan....a really good one, but no one's going to mistake it for a sports car no matter what he does.

ironically, he wants to paint it white para mas lalong vanilla....hehe

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

- 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 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?

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

[_Qwerty_]

retain the black color.. remove tints

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.

To me, this Camry looks sporty without shouting, "Look at me! i'm a boy racer!". If you can make your car look like this, you're set.

Black is also a naturally sporty color (along with red, blue, and yellow). Dual-exhaust tips, body-color front grill......all marks of sporty cars. Ever wonder why regular 4-cyl Mazda 6's went with dual exhaust tips? Like it really needs it..... It's mostly for sporty looks. Plus if I'm not mistaken, Mazda also went with the body-color front grills as well.
