Great start. I remember back in the F&F days when everybody was building civics, we had a camry this generation this rolling around town. The car had a full kit and big wheels, which made it stick out and looked surprisingly nice.

There were a few members on here that actually spotted my car at meets and remembered it.. Made me feel all good

I like it all,but those steelies.... I would've left them black to keep it somewhat clean. my .02

I feel like the your lime-green steelies, plate frame, and the strange garage door sealer front lip make the car look a little "Fast & Furious", but really nothing that can't be changed if you wanted to go the OEM+ route. Also, I'm guessing you get high-beam flashed a lot for having HIDs in stock housings.

Still, I've always liked those cars and I don't know why. This would look great slammed on a nice set of wheels.

x2 and that checkered lip, but to each his own.

Great progress otherwise!

off topic - is your last name schmitz

[schmittz]

I just read your name, no way you spell it the same way! Theres no z though lol. And most of the stuff I did was with things I had laying around the house/garage. I wanted it to kinda stand out..

While it's fun to do stuff on the cheap, just remember- the nail that sticks out gets the hammer.

[schmittz]

Hopefully not the ban hammer! :0

And yeah, I know, its actually pretty funny getting insulted by guys who had to get a ride to the meet..
What part of NY are you from btw?

[MommysLittleMonster]

[schmittz]

Was that a rice comment? -.- anyways, went lower today, and transplanted some 2010 camry wheels on:




I'll get better pictures in the morning...

A good buddy of mine owns a Camry of the same generation and we always joke around about lowering it. After seeing yours i'm thinking it's not too bad of an idea. lol. However like others have said, the checkered lip is obnoxious. Besides that it looks like your off to a good start my friend!
