Default Rolled my fenders added a few new mods

I finally got the rental tool in to roll my fenders and it worked out GREAT!!! I am running 18 x 8.5 forged wheels with a 4 mm spacer and had a little rubbing with it weighed down now it is great a excellent fit.

I also added the front strut bar can not tell anything at all but it looks cool I got the chrome after market strut bar. I still have the whiteman sway bar to put on I want to get my car aligned and have the shop install it at the same time.

Also I called a toyota dealer and got a phone jack for a 97 camry and am going to install it on my console for my phone charger and or my sons dvd player. it was a little more expensive but it came with a plastic cover so it can be closed when not in use. I will post pics if anyone is interested after I install next week.

speaking of expensive I need new chrome tips for my exhaust ..... The dealer wanted 58.00 each. I purchased some aftermarket ones that look a lot cooler for 25.00 and they are akit hbetter than the factory parts.

now my mods are Wheels, 12 dics cd changer in trunk, Eibach springs , KYB struts, strut bar.

soon to come sway bars, the dumb phone charger ( I know I am a dork but I am more in to comfort than anything else.) the chrome tips, new interior. I need new floor mats and probally speakers.

right now my total mods are

tinted windows 20 %
strut bar
eibach springs
kyb struts
18 x 8.5 weld evo forged wheels
12 disc changer

tomarrow

I am considering the cleared corners but dont want to mess them up
I would like to debadge but want to loose the es 300 also but am not sure how it will look because fo the tail light.
