    Looks good!

      Matches perfectly, but I wouldn't try to paint a smooth surface; I t would be really hard to get it to look right. The valance has a surface texture already so it was easy to paint. I got the paint at paintscratch.com http://www.paintscratch.com/

        Where'd you get the euro smilies?


        "The Camry is an appliance, not a car. It attracts folks who have the same regard for driving that they have for washing dishes,
        i.e. it's a necessary but somewhat unpleasant chore and they want something to make the task a little easier and insulate them from the process."

            The euro grill looks really nice. It's subtle but it makes the front end just THAT much more aggressive. I normally wouldn't like the idea of painted ducts but it actually turned out really well. I wouldn't have done it on an early model or another paint color but it brings everything together on your front end. I don't like the stripes but they're not outright visually offensive either. And I'm sure they're easy to remove if you get bored of them.

              The stripes will peel right off when I get tired of them. And yes I am selling the KTM. It's awesome but I need the $ for some family stuff... and maybe a set of Euroweaves...
              The smilies are from a guy on R3V. They were priced right but needed a rebuild: new adjusters, polish the glass, new bulbs. If you get some you're better off paying up and getting a really nice set instead of dicking around refurbishing a ratty set.

                    Looking great, I have almost the same car. You should smoke those turn signals.
