your model camry is a gen 6 (which is now outdated by the gen 6.5 which is the current facelift model). DJKOR would know this one for sure, but i dont think that aurion spoiler fits the camry boot, but the camrys and aurion share a lot of the same panels

not enitrely sure if theres any aftermarket body kits readily available in australia for the gen 6. you will have to start looking overseas

Don't see a reason why you can't buy a kit from Toyota... might find it cheaper to buy overseas and ship to Australia than to buy one from Toyota here.

As for price? I'm sure you own a phone mate... make a couple of calls and see how you go.

I reckon you should be going for some rims and lowering before the kit... might look a bit unusual with a kitted car without mags :P

I must say, Sportivos are pretty nice looking...

I believe there is no "kit" available to buy for the Sportivo bodykit.. you'll need to go into Toyota and check the part numbers for each individual part. So... you'll be looking for the front bar, rear bar, side skirts, spoiler and I believe there's a special rock cover guard underneath from what I was told.

Good luck anyway :)

As mentioned by lateralus, you do indeed have a Gen 6 Camry. The ACV40R and GSV40R are both Gen 6's. In the States, the ACV40R is the I4 Camry, and the GSV40R is the V6 model. Here in Australia though, the GSV40R is the Aurion.

As for the spoiler fitting, the boot lid shares very close upper dimensions. The only difference between the Camry and Aurion boot lid is the overall shape and rear part of it. The Aurion spoiler will fit onto a Gen 6 Camry with no issues however. Just like how the Aurion can use the Camry lip spoiler. The Aurion spoiler mounting points sit in a tiny bit which allows for any variation as well.

if ya interested on an original set of sportivo kit, contact Michael Pitt at Brighton Toyota... i was considering bodykits as well when i first got my car in Apr this year but scrapped the idea after i saw the naristo kit and found out the only way i can get it here is if i parted with $5K not including shipping from the states :(

anyway, their quote came in cheapest at that time at about $2216... if you dont want the spoiler, you might be able to get it down to just below $2K.

i got a set of 18s like you and got it lowered just over the weekend as well as a custom muffler + 3 inch tip installed... dont realli see a need for a kit now...

how well knowledged is ur missus when it comes to cars? not discriminating or anything, but there are girls out there who wouldn't even notice you changed ur car as long as its the same colour and has 4 doors...

maybe start small... change something and see if she notices, then carry on from there... bit by bit :)

Hehehe ... yeah, she's not "into" cars, but she takes an interest. Oh, and as the financial controller, she'd certainly notice the missing funds. :lol:

Having said that, if I mope around long enough, she'd let me start modding the car. Perhaps if I compromised and sold off the motorbike ... hmm ... <_<

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
