I have a ideia, since there is no Camry TRD 4wd , why not pickup q Camry 2.5 4wd and try to make ir faster than a TRD? I think there is some vídeo one guy changing 2.5 heads and getting big power added without FI. Maybe even changing final drive in the autobox is possible.. You later can make also a TRD tune car.

I totally understand your struggles with choosing badging and tailights. You all have such good taste. My thoughts are to keep the black tailights and no badging. It goes with the theme of the car better and looks more aggressive. I love that it looks like a rare no-name car in grand theft auto.

I like the fact that you put on different wheels. When I bought my WRX everyone was putting on the same wheels. I put Prodrive PFF7's on in Anthracite. The whole point of customizing your car is so it doesn't look like everyone else's.

@TheKaptainKombat Жыл бұрын

Despite those who see the grand prix similarities in the oem taillights I think they look way sleeker, and more cohesive. Thank god it looks like an s15 and not a grand prix, but do what y’all like, we trust the vision!

@officialTHREETWENTYdotcom Жыл бұрын

OEM+ is the way to go with these cars to stand out now; way too many get cut up for widebodies or beat on, so seeing one that is extremely tidy and restrained is a nice change. I kept my S15 largely OEM+ for the same reason. As for tail lights, I had run those exact DMax units as well as another style from them, and ultimately went back to the OEM tails with the amber signals and all. Yes, they look a touch "old" compared to aftermarket offerings but that's the appeal in my eyes, given it's an almost-classic car.

I was one of those original chirpers, teasing about the taillights. I must say, I'm also a bit torn on the new taillights. I think I like the new ones just a hair more. That may be because my parents owned two Grand Ams and I was triggered by the stock lights. Much love from Vancouver Island.

I love this build series! The chassis, color, wheels, everything. The few cars I have modified OEM+ is the way to go. That style is the way modern car culture should go (with obvious exceptions, track racing, drag, drift). Not obnoxious for the need to be obnoxious. Keep up the good work gentlemen! Btw I know you guys have a soft spot for older Hondas. I have a 2009 Honda Fit, silver with only 21,500 miles. Clean title. I’d love to see a build series on that or even a “Pimp your ride” kinda thing. Heck if you’re interested in buying it even, that would be epic.
