Camry scuff plates

[Kinezo2011]

Hi everyone

I currently have a '09 camry altisse and saw some scuff plates selling on the internet.

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on them? Are they worth getting? Is it just a direct fit over the plastic moulding?

I'm not looking at the illuminated ones, just the plain standard ones.

Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Kinezo - I have the genuine Toyota 'Sportivo' scuff plates for the rear (they come standard in the front but I had to get a pair for the rear). They require removing the old ones and then fitting the new, basically the rears are a longer piece of plastic so they "clip" over the bodywork (I have the old ones in a plastic bag, they are quite long!). I didn't install them though and already had fronts so I'm not sure how they attach, I'm assuming they just 'clip on' as well.

But they're definitely worth it, I'm a pedantic clean freak and its much easier to clean footprints off the plastic :)

FYI: Toyota Australia have just released 'genuine' blue illuminated scuff plates for the camry

Hi Tash, thanks for your reply. Would you have any pics of the scuff plates on your car?

Hi u54mot, when i enquired about the illuminated scuff plates at the local dealer i nearly fell to the floor when i was told the price. And that didn't include installation!!

If anyone else has any pics of after market scuff plates in their car, and would like to share, i would love to see them.

Thanks

Hey Kinezo - have replied to your PM but there are a couple of pics of the scuff plates in my ride thread :) I can take some more if need be.
