Found these while looking up some stuff for my Dad's car. Thought it looked pretty cool. Wonder what mods people have done here?

It's not so much that the mods aren't done well, they're very tasteful, it's the fact that they're souping up a CAMRY. Why would anybody want to personalize the most anonymous car of all time? I never understood modding cars like that, it just doesn't make sense to me. You can throw $20000 in mods at that car and you'll still have a Camry at the end of the day.
Maybe I'm just bitter because I was forced to spend the first 5 years of my driving life behind the wheel of my mom's 4cyl 2001 Camry LE, but even back then if somebody offered me $10,000 in free exterior mods, I doubt I would have even taken them up on the offer. Modding a Camry is a futile endeavor in my opinion, it's like modding a minivan

well imho there are no difference between cars being modded. by your definition modding a civic is just as stupid (which i don't think so). don't worry, i drove camry as my first car for 6 years too ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
and maybe to high end car owners' eyes, they say people modding GS are stupid?

And what's wrong w/ modding a minivan?! I've seen some really nicely done minivans...one member on here posted pics recently of his Odyssey.
but you're entitled to your opinion.

I don't understand why people would soup up a sports car, like a Ferrari or a Lambo. I mean, they're about 600 hp stock, but someone drops another $50k to make it 150 lbs lighter with 620 hp. WHY?!? Is it all that necessary?
It's necessary to make the Camry (or any other non-sporty car) more sporty and distinctive. I see absolutely no reason why someone would want to make a high-end sports car even more sporty and even more distinctive (like I couldn't tell it was a Ferarri or Aston Martin from a mile away).

I can understand if you mod a high-end sports car for aesthetics, but there is no reason (unless if you take it to a track often) to make it even more sporty.
In all honesty, if I had a high-end sports car, I would just spend the $$ that I would have used for mods, and donated that money to charity. At least it would have been more useful for more people...

It appears that you got your license somewhere around 2002?

So, you got to drive basically a brand new car right from the time you started driving yet you despise it why?? No COOL factor?
Sorrt, but this annoys me. A complete lack of appreciation. My first car was a clapped out 1974 Camaro..............that I got in 1987! And you know what? I drove that car every day like I was driving a Caddy. Why? because I was DRIVING.

Foofighter: It's not about the cost of the car, Camrys aren't even that cheap. There are about 1000 cars, both new and used I would rather buy and modify for the price of a Camry
PhillipMST: Have you ever heard the adage about trying to polish a turd? That's basically all I'm saying here, if you want a car that's more distinctive and/or sporty, why not buy an actual performance car with the money you would be using to mod a Camry? At least get an Altima or Mazda 6 or something
