Hiya Guys,

I know you have seen this before but I have meshed the lower grill and wanted to post a picture to see what you guys think. This is my first attempt at a mod apart from the aftermarket head unit and I think it turned out pretty good. Hopefully in the next week or so I will be picking up a Lexus style chrome grill from Aur3on to complete the mod. Now all I need is a new front bar skin as this one is covered in stone chips <_<

Cheers

Peter

Great mod, Peter.

I've got a few chips in the "grey?" on my upper grill too. I'll make a few inquiries to find out the colour. Maybe a toothpick touch up will tide you over until you get the new grill.

That is definitely different. Well done on the job, it looks clean.

The mesh looks like it is installed good but I'm not sure it will really suit the car. You should take some pictures from further pack to show is the whole car look.

Yeah I have been looking at it for a couple of days and im thinking I may paint it black, was waiting for the chrome grill to see if it would look better silver or black but i guess the black would match the vents and I do like the white and black contrast.

Thanks for your opinions guys I will post more pics when I decide which way to go :clap:

Hey Peter, I think it looks great, If you paint it black it will just disappear. Practical too, protect the radiator.

I personally wouldn't do it If I were you.

Your body kit isn't sportivo and the grill is standard, unless you go the Sporty grill from Thai and make the same mesh.

It doesn't blend in. I'm not sure If you were to colour it black.

For you, just make a single linining, silver like Hidden Taco.

Yeah I had to do something the webs in the original lower grill were broken and it looked pretty crappy and this was a cheap alternative to finding an original one. Hope to pick up a lexus chrome grill from Aur3on soon and also looking at installing fog lights, should make it look a little better. I really like what Hidden Taco has done with his lower grill, it really suits his car.

Now that I have seen a whole car picture I have to say it really doesn't suit which is a pity because it looked like a quality job.

Mesh should always be black in my opinion.

You are gonna hate me, but I probably would start with a new mesh and wouldn't paint it unless you plan on doing 3 Coates because the second it chips your going to see white.

Yeah I was going to head to Supercheap this arvo and pick up some black mesh, the thought of painting it didnt really appeal to me and it would cost half the price of a sheet of black mesh. I will mesh it black on the weekend and post up a new pic.

Thanks for the input guys really appreciate it.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
