My gosh there are some hyper-critical people around here. It's beginning to sound like the geeks I see on other sites...negative criticism for every car that isn't in the same level as the brand of that site.
I think this car looks cool. Color coordinated wheels, kit, lowered, nice design of the car....what else you guys want? Someone called it a pig??? The Camry is no bigger any Lexus except the IS. What's the pig crap all about. That tells me it's talking parrot heads crap again.
I didn't think staggered set-ups worked well on FWD drive cars but if it's safe, cool.

In the meantime,, drop down into the NELOC forum and get some of those guys to re-shoot this thing so it can represent in the true form that it is.
Truck I am going to try that, should I make a post in NELOC asking some one local to brooklyn to take pics for me?

Stef, don't even try to defend the wheel choice. I'll wager he doesn't know one thing about that brand...he's just saying what many others say when the wheel doesn't cost 10 thousand dollars.
You did a good job with this car.

Nice, but all that work on a 4cylinder, I can't get passed the stigma of what a 4cylinder is suppose to offer, and words like we had a budget are funny, apparently when it's a 4cylinder Camry, all that money on mods could of bought the V6

nicely put together
If it's for show only, Staggered setup on FWD is OK.

My xB I had staggered setup look, but if fact they were the same width front and back. Different offset and lips made a FAKE staggered setup.

Ah I see, I thought you meant H&R coilovers when you said coils.

With all do respect, the thread was stated and started with ????? after the topic title which correct me if I'm wrong Stef was done with the predication of envoking feedback

In my opinion I'm not a fan of taking an average four door family car and throwing a kit and wheels on it. If you wan't performance buy performance. I doubt Stefs intention was to post pics and a vid only to have people flatter him by telling him what he wants to hear vice what true auto enthusiasts really feel about it. He's a business man and I'm sure he appreciates an honest opinion about things before he commits to the market. Not telling Stef what we really think is in my opinion a far greater injustice than commenting about our luke warm, lackluster opinion regarding the camry mentioned in the thread.

Reg, please watch the name calling and the generalization of all members of our forum based on a couple comments you don't like.

I think that's a much way to state an opinion than the earlier comments you made AND much less likely to bait for an online argument with other members.

Both of you guys PM me if you want to discuss my comments above and let this thread get back on track please.

Yes I invite all opinions good and bad. When your posting for such a wide range of people you will always get positive and negative comments. Just make sure you be respectful in your comments good or bad. I don't consider the PIG thing very respectful nor the Geeks comment from Ice350, but thanks to Dave we should be back on track.

I actually saw the car in person today at Canarsie Piers in Brooklyn for the 2IS Only meet and it didnt look that bad for what it is. I personally am not a big fan of the rim style but everything seems to flow. People have to understand everyone starts somewhere.
