Default Finally got my new wheels

Got new wheels for my Camry. Due to financial reasons (one kid in college and another starting next fall) I kept the stock tires and replaced the rims.

I love how these cars look in white. Did you put in the fog lights yourself? Is that a chrome grill between the fog lights?

I installed the fog lights. Got lights on ebay. Can send you the instructions if you need them.

Chrome grill is actually 1/4 inch chorme edging from Auto Zone. Those pieces have been on there for about 3 months and still look ok.

Frank,

Wheels look nice. I did the same thing with keeping the stock tires. I replaced my wheels after only 400 miles. It would have been a waste of good tires to go to a larger size rim.

Looks good. I am contemplating doing the fog lights. Where did you mount the on/off switch? Can you post of picture?

Thanks.

Ron

On/off switch is under the hood. Lights come on with headlights and stay on whether the lights are on low beam or high beam. May have them put on a separate switch later but this way works fine. I'll get you a picture today.

Let me know if you decide on the dash kit. I've got 13 pieces left over from 2 different kits in the darker OEM color (like mine). Here's a list of the pieces I have and I'm sending a printout of what those pieces are. $50 shipped.

i will let you know, i'm noticing that the original trim tends to scratch easily and covering it with the wood will hold up better.

thanks.

Could you please post the instructions? Also: how much time did it take for installation; difficulty factor; and your mechanical ability factor .

Nice pic Frank! White definitely is a beautiful color on the Camry. How much were you able to get the fog lights for on ebay?
