  1. Haha yeah i was tryna look for the white wrap on cars but could only find it on phones and other small car parts etc. Ah i see. I was just planning to get it off ebay. I'll look more into it. Still undecided if i'm actually gonna do it or not... I think it would look nice but I guess i could leave it til later on or something. Most likely get HIDs next
  2. Thanks Rich. Hmm If anything i might just try do it myself. That's what 2 of my mates did and it turned out pretty good. If anything i'll check out that place you recommended Never seen white carbon fibre... Tried googling some images but nothing came up. Think i still prefer matte black
  3. Hey rich, where and how much did it cost to wrap your roof? Im thinking of wrapping mine but matte black.
  4. Haha I've had a years experience with soldering when I was still in highschool so I was pretty confident I wouldn't destroy my car
  5. I emailed the guy and he asked for my number and called me. He told me the first sheet of instructions were for the american version of the isntall so he didn't provide it. He provided pics of what wires he tapped in though so i just looked at it and figured out myself which wires to solder the lights together
  6. Here's a few pics of the DRL kit. There are 2 modes you can choose. Tap in the blue wire and the DRL stays on when headlights are off, Dims when lights are on (This is my set up). The second mode is to tap in the white wire instead and the DRL stays on until headlights are turned on. Quite simple to do. Just had to strip abit of the wires for the light and in the fuse box, then I soldered the wires to the instructed wires. Hardest part was getting the damn fog bezels off... the screws are a pain in the ***** to get to. You have to take off your splash guards. Would recommend as it is a nice addition to the car :)
  7. I got the one from that website. $190 altogether. I had a little trouble installing them but finally finished early this afternoon. It's a pain in the ***** to get the Fog bezels out lol I'll take pictures tonight or tomorrow when i get the chance.
  8. wouldn't mind changing the whole exhaust system in the future for the extra HP but then again... it's a camry lol Anyway, the DRL LEDs came today but i wasn't able to install it since they only gave me the second page of the instructions. Emailed them asking to give me a copy of the first page but they have yet to reply :(
  9. Would that void warranty? Curious because it might change the way the engine performs and that may void warranty... from what i've heard anyway
  10. Hey dinindu. I got them off ebay. They're magnaflow mufflers and exhaust tips. I got them seperate because magnaflow didn't have any offset to offset mufflers that came with a tip.
  11. Hahaha yeah so expensive :( I just ordered a set of DRL led lights that rich linked. They look pretty decent since it's flush with the foggies, as rich as also mentioned. Will DIY install and let you guys know how I go when it's here!
  12. yeah seen those ones but prefer what RAIN has since it looks like, what rain said, a genuine product
  13. Ah yes those drl lights. I was planning to get those aswell but thought it was a little pricey... Still considering them though! Harlo, he bought it for 900 a wheel brand new black. He only recently painted it white! Yeah whenever we go car meets his car always gets a lot of attention haha but recently he's put his euro aside to work on his project car :)
  14. Tried on my mate's Rays TE37s today 19x9.5 +22. Not sure what tyres... didn't take notice but close to low profiles.
  15. Thanks man :) Should share some pics of your ride aswell man! Oh mad you got them from ccruzn? what a bargain haha 400 cheaper than mine. Ah i see. So you mustve dropped about 4inches? My car is 14cm from the ground, so only 1 cm lower than yours. I was gonna lower it by another cm today but didn't end up doing it. I changed mine to softer settings. It's 20 clicks away from hard (or 10 clicks away from soft) so the ride isn't as stiff anymore and it drives like the normal sports stock suspension. I did feel that the handling was alot better and the steering wheel seemed alot smoother
  16. Yeah if you just change the factory mufflers then only the sound changes but if you change the exhaust system then there will be performance changes
  17. thanks man! Yeah haha the gap for the atara models is lower than all the models i think... well my dad owns the aurion prescara and that one was a few cm higher than my atara stock
  18. haha it's not that big in real life... well to me anyway Yeah it's black. I haven't touched it ever since. Thought i'd just leave it the way it is! Also, here's a picture I took after work. Me parked next to the same model but stock;

  20. The ride is pretty stiff, not bad though. The handling is good. Noticed the handling was better as soon as I started driving. Haha yeah west side roads are pretty ****ty but still bearable!
  21. Hey mate. Got it done at TyrePower north melbourne. The address for it is 212 Abbotsford St North Melbourne 3051
  22. $1199 for the coilovers. $200 installation including wheel alignment
  23. Yeah the gap between the tyre and fender for the rear is about 5cm where as the gap at the front is around 7cm. I thought of dropping the front by an extra 2cm but I would scrape going up my driveway -.-
  24. Got my coillovers installed today at TyrePower North located in North Melbourne. $200 coilover fitted and wheel alignment. Car was dropped by 3" all-round. (Pictures aren't too good... sorry bout that) Before: AFTER:
  25. Thanks for the tip. I just know for now, i won't be getting it too low because my driveway is pretty bad. I've had a few mates test their cars on it and they tell me it's the worst driveway they've gone up lol but i've contacted the council and they're gonna come have a look at it sometime next week to see what they can do to fix it.
