Awesome, thanks again mate, hopefully it works.

This is a question of pure curiosity, is it possible to change and upgrade my instrument cluster? If so, any ideas on where to buy a "fancy" or better one? Sorry guys for being a pain, hahah.

Yikes, thanks, greatly appreciated. Well said Ashley.

Oh really? Why would you avoid those two shops and why would you recommend them? Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into them, they're closer as well which helps.

Well done, that's awesome, great work. I wish I was that good and could trust myself to do it. It would save so much money, a turbocharger conversion will cost and set me back between 12 to 14 grand to get installed at Brisbane Tuning and Turbo. The supercharger cost basically the same.

I'm changing my mind again, hahah, that looks amazing. I agree with your view, for me it just depends on whether I'm willing to cough up that much money. I actually might do it, I just need to get the money first. Let's say I did do it, what do you reckon? A Supercharger or Turbocharger? Yeah I'll definitely contact Bodykits Kingdom, thanks man.

Very true, for the 10+ grand it would cost to add a turbocharger or supercharger, I might as well have sold the Camry and bought something with more performance. At least I can make her handle smoother and look better.

Well I am obviously going overboard with this again, in the end the car is great for what it is and there is no worthwhile performance increase with any mods. I'm just going to focus on handling (suspension, brakes) and looks here and there when it comes to it. As well as a better head unit and stereo system. I just need to find a spoiler like the one pictured and I'll leave it at that.

Would either of you know where to find a swap out grille like the one above locally?

Yeah I found that out from their quote, definitely overpriced. Couldn't agree more.

Very interesting points here, I agree with you both, hahah. I'm currently looking into all options at the moment. I also asked Pedders Suspension Capalaba for their opinion, advice and recommendation. Here's what they thought: "please see pricing for upgraded suspension and brakes. I recommend and priced you on a coil over kit with ride height adjustment and 30 valve rate adjustments, so you can choose the height of the vehicle and adjust your level of comfort and handling. Also front lower control arm, rear bushes in urethane material to eliminate wheel movement on these bushes. Also front and rear sway bar D mount bushes to eliminate flex and engage the sway bars quicker with the brakes I have priced you on Geomet coded slotted rotars front and rear with bendix heavy duty front brake pads and Pedders rear brake pads the price is all up fitted, drive in drive out including a 4 wheel alignment, our product comes with a 2 year parts and labour nationwide warranty."

King Springs replied: "The Aurion as far as I know had a V6, So yes the coils will fit but on your car you will need a slightly lower coil on the front to allow for the weight difference." Fulcrum Suspensions replied: "I would be a little hesitant to use the Aurion coils in your 4cylinder Camry as they came out v6 so may be a little harsh in the front end. If you would like to give it a try we can."

Sweet, thanks, I'll look into it. Any ideas on where I could get a proper grille?

I've heard about people changing their sway bars. Is this possibly an option? Would you reckon upgrading to some upgraded "thicker" sway bars would have any added benefits or advantages? And last question, I'm thinking of possibly changing the OEM grille to a mesh grille. What are your thoughts?

Yeah I'll certainly contact them. Fulcrum Suspensions said that it will be "lowered about 1” below standard (keep in mind your vehicle is probably sagged a little from standard anyway). If your original springs are ok and the vehicle is not sagged we could re use the original coils." I'll have to wait for the reply from King Springs before I get back to them.
