Not sure if you still have it arranged that way, but please buy a proper tie-down for the battery. It's not fun when the battery shifts and as a result, the positive connection is compromised and hello, no power steering nor much brake response. See how that suits in the middle of a turn in traffic. Camry has a workable bolt and tie-down assembly, harvest from junkyard.

well got my TRD rears in and put them on this past weekend.
there were imperial jade mica green which wasn't too far off of my stock green so I threw them on and it looks pretty damn good.
now if only the weather would cooperate and stop being jack@zz I could wash my car and take some pics cuz that's all we care for. hahaha

I forgot which forum I asked you this but how'd you install it? Did you use the same holes for the mudflaps and used a self tapping screw and drilled it into the rear bumper? Did you remove the old strip of adhesive and replaced it with double sides tape?
Sorry for asking so many questions but I'm about to get my painted and out on.

lol, yeah if you look underneath your bumper there should already be a screw that is in place where it will attach. and then I just used doublesided tape along the edges. had to remove the old tape but just a blowdryer and some goo gone will do. yea, i just used the holes for the mudflaps. just found some random nuts and bolts to hold them on for now but yeah ideally self tapping screws would be best. I didn't drill the bottom hole into the bumper at all because there was no need. as long as you mount it on flush and tight it should be fine. and you and me both got OEM/JDM ones too, not replicas so fitment is perfect. let me know if you need clarification on anything else.

I thought so. I looked under my rear bumper and there were no holes besides the two holes all the way in the middle of the bumper but that's too far to reach for my splitters. I'll just bolt it in to the same holes as my mud flaps and use 3m double sided tape.

I NEVER scraped when dropped on my Eibach Sportlines. I barely scrape tucking wheels with my D2 Coilovers... the only thing that scrapes is my low hanging exhaust and sometimes the front splitters. You'll be fine with TRD's. Your roads can't be worse than upstate NY roads.

that's good to know. yeah, I know TRD and Eibachs aren't that big of a drop so I'm not too worried.

FULL tank of gas and my won't even move. hahahah!

Working on my car is always 1 step forward, 2 steps back, then 2 steps forward and one step back... depends on what I'm fixing, but it usually ends in rusty broken bolts and more repairs than I need to do.

GTS RIMS!!!! I miss mine so much. I recommend you to never get rid of them. Sold mine and now I'm missing them. Lol. Your car looks much better with the gts rims.
Silly97 ProgressDirtBag87 ProgressCalifornia Members Check In
LOL. yeah I know. I love them. I looked for mine for a long time. Trying to find a decent set without curb rash and whatnot. Most people use them for winter tires here so they suck. hahahah.
I think it matches my style that i'm going for. OEM/JDM stuff so it only makes sense that a set of OEM rims will match my car. I've never liked too many aftermarket rims and the ones I like are out of my current price range. hahaaha.
