So I mobbed out a family sedan ...

This project is officially on mod withdraw. The car will be stripped out next year. 
 
What do you guys think ? Critics, comments are welcome :shrug::hwwh6p:.

...my first car was a 93 CamryXLE, dumped, painted metallic blue 2 3/4 piping, that same front valence (but I cut out the vents on sides) and painted the entire trunklamp bodycolor - reverse lenses - everything...there is a spot in my heart for Camrys

errr...i just have one question..did you come to this forum because your car has 4 door?
 
Maybe you will do better on a Camry forum

lol

Please dont start a lecture on me about what VIP is. I know exactly where my car belong, and it's the main reason why I dont want to keep going with this project :wave:

Everyone got to start somewhere. I simply take pride for my work :biggthumpup:

Thats not too bad.  Actually pretty cool for what it is.  That was my first car.  Could use a little bit bigger exhaust but if you applied those skills to a VIP car you could make some pretty cool stuff.

I dont lecture on shit really...Im not about to waste my breath doing so. You said critics are welcome. I say nothing really flows well on the car at all. And with that said. I really hope you do your next car justice. Thats just my opinion though.

No harm, no foul. :shrug: When I feel ready, I will start off with either Y34 or UCF20 II

A hill in San Bernadino. Can't recall the name but it's not too far from the Auto Club Speedway.

Good choice for the next cars you plan on using for platforms..I think you would have a good time on those.

rear 3/4 angle is nice, looks almost like an ls400. imho front looks better stock. looks like u were going for r32/33 looks. haha and if you debadged the rear it would look g50ish

HMMM.. not my cup of poop but its cool just get some better wheels it might look a we bit better . 
 
and good choice of cars for your next project.

I actually got pulled over because one cop thought it was an illegal R34 lol And there's extreme case where someone actually did full conversion on front and rear end which is quiet impressive... But I definitely wont waste that kind of effort on a wannabe :runcoold:

I know the priority of being VIP is clean. But I emphasize more on the aggressiveness and personal appeal of the ride, just my style i guess =)

[QUOTE=MR.J;272056]
 and good choice of cars for your next project.[/QUOTE]

Anything come from the list of VIP commandments is probably good enough for you guys =) Both of my choices have short production lifespan and discontinued. So hopefully when I finally get around to do so I can still fine a decent one ...:shrug:

I would say,
Cleaner kit with less lines.
Stock headlights and corners
maybe inch or so bigger wheels (better fitting, Full face maybe)
Lower
lose the roof spoiler

The car is not bad at all from the chrome trim up.
If the car was lower it would probably set off the current state really well.

i can say i appreciate the work put in, it looks like you had a vision and you executed it.  Had it been lower on nicer wheels, it would have been executed better.  However, it just doesnt seem to work :shrug:

For a second I was thinking why is the OP criticizing his own car.

For some reason I dont think this camry would look as good being slammed. If i could do it again, I would try to get exactly one inch lower upfront and it would be perfect for me. Another thing about modding a camry is that I dont have much options on hand to consider. For example the front lip is one of the only two obtainable in US for this model, I simply made do with what I had along the way :pat:

Thanks, I usually dont get much appreciation from non-camry people. When people ask me what I drive, I say a camry, they're like "oh, ok" ... With all the work and thought i put into only moved it to the level of "WTF is that thing rolling" ? Not the "Wow" factor I was looking for :slap:

nahhhhhhh...not digging it.

[QUOTE=cr00klyn718;272072]nahhhhhhh...not digging it.[/QUOTE]

fail...

right quarter and trunk looks horrible...if it only had a decent paint job...

the background looks good.

Thanks, I've just been back from San Diego. The downtown is amazing. I would someday just drive there, spend a day purely for photo shooting.

Added a couple side shots of my fail VIP attempt :shrug:

Haha I remember your car when it was still rolling around last semester on flat black =)

you should just keep goin and max the car out bro. i've seen the camry done right several times when i used to live in japan.

[IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/2z8rayc.jpg[/IMG]
From this angle you can't see the lines on the kit and the car looks alot better.
Is there any body shop that could customize that kit? I mean if your going to spend the money on the car either do it with all intent to finish or scrap the project before you start throwing your money away. I think it could be salvaged if you wanted to switch up the look.

hmm i see what your sayin Damicci.....I think if that kit was dumbed down a bit and suspension with a proper fit wheel on there..Oh and those head and taillights back to stock atleast..I think this car would actually look pretty dope..Kind of in the same category as the Ra1's to me.

Oh well they actually made the straight side and "factory alike" rear, some like this on a fellow camry owner 

 [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/2j67l7k.jpg[/IMG]

However, he also used the same front lip with all the crazy aggressive cut. We just couldn't find any better lip to use. And from this picture you can see that the front doesn't flow well with the rest of the car at all

[IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/2mm5rgo.jpg[/IMG]

So that's why I choosed the current side and rear. :pat:

Props for doing something different. The car looks pretty good as is. It just needs a little bit of work to really set it off. Id love to see it with some better fitting wheels. What kind of suspension are you on?

[IMG]http://i33.tinypic.com/2qjdjt5.jpg[/IMG]

Too bad we dont have those kind of parts available here in US. Importing has been an option, but nobody ever really look deep into it. Fitment due to differences in JDM model and USDM model was also a big concern. :pat:

Dropzone springs. As I dropped the project. I dont think it will go coil anytime soon.

Here is my Shopped of what I was thinking if you were to switch it up a bit.


[IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/Damicci/Web%20Stuff/2z8rayc_mod.jpg[/IMG]

I removed the roof spoiler
increased the wheel size to tucking a bit, lightened the wheels
and tried to smooth out the kit.

I know what u meant. But let's face this, just because my camry can go as low as an Aristo, doesn't make it as good as one. I dont have problem going all out on my car. But again, if I can pull out a few K for suspension set up, why not do it on a Lexus or Infiniti. It's still a camry at the end, can't win the respect of them all ... I was just trying to prove that a gen 3 camry can pull out the VIPis look just as good as anything else. Maybe I proved it, maybe not, but I'm not willing to go that far just to be labeled as VIP wannabe at the end. It's just not me ...

This car is old, it's slow, a purely POS. I honestly dont appreciate the car as much as the concept I created. Maybe someone will pick up this concept and finish it someday, maybe not ... I left my mark there, I'm happy :wave:

[QUOTE=1slowg35sedan;272219]hahah my attempt at vinyling the whole car...It was an epic failure.[/QUOTE]

Disagree.

[QUOTE=Bach;272215].This car is old, it's slow, a purely POS[/QUOTE]

Agree 100%.

^ On one hand you are right, on the other hand you did come here with the camry and stuck VIP in the same sentence as it.

Your camry is really clean.  I bet you could get enough cash for it if you sold it to get a LS400. Start fresh, new project ya know?

Oh well I never really slam the VIP into it, it's not even close yet :pat:
I dont sell my car, or any of my projects ... And I doubt people would want to buy it though :runcoold:

...one thing I did to my 93 Camry was I removed the windshield wipers and it made a huge difference IMO - just an idea, take it for what it's worth. RainX on the windshield.

wow! that's  unique ...i ment the rainbow back ground ...

[QUOTE=Bach;272045]Everyone got to start somewhere. I simply take pride for my work :biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]

Man I feel ya on that one. thats what they were saying about my 05 Sentra I built. But hey, it was a family car, I built it my way and took a trophy at a show. In all honesty, the car is clean to me. The front bumper, if it were round all the way like the back, would be more on the lines of "styled" but overall to me, execution.

[IMG]http://www.spoilerdepot.com/images/items/Toyota-Camry-405-Razzi-Ground-Effects-Kit-4216.jpg[/IMG]

It looks a tad trinkety.... ie. chrome strips look busy... and not a fan of roof spoiler, only because shape is a tad blobby. delete and will look more like sedan than hatch back!
