Camry Conversion

I think In my opinion.
The Asian Specific Model Camry is nicer.
& was wandering what would it take to convert it?
Headlights. ofcourse.
Grill. Hood?

The reason i like them. because they are more round & have a less agressive look to it.

It should not be too too hard. I've been looking into all kinds of Camry front end conversion. Main thing is actually going to be getting it here. The shipping $ will eat you alive like a flesh eating parasite. My GUESS is that the hood, fenders, bumper, and light will be a damn near bolt on. I's say to somehow locate pictures o the engine bay to compare. The wiring I think should be the worst of it, but still not too too bad. :)

No, you CAN'T get it in the US. You will NEED to order it from overseas. My guess is that to get the parts here,y uor looking at $3k. Maybe more, maybe less.

get it from taiwan, i think they have same crash standard as here? also their camry was domestically made and therefore i think parts should be cheaper. if not, you should able to resource aftermarket one

Front end looks alright but rear end reminds me too much of the 2000ish Avalon that was the ugliest imo

For your gen3 the best i've seen is from Jeddahboyz where someone swpped 1997-2001 Es300 front end to their gen3 camry. It made i took camry, but still it was fresher (no identify crises either).

Taiwan gets a nicer camry as they do not get the avalon. Camry fills a huge gap there, hence they are nicer there. but to covert would cost it over 3K on parts and fabrication. I'd suggest use the 3K like such (lip kit, lowering, wheel and retro headlights).

parts warehouses overseas..

they can help you get them.. talk to an importer to get them here...

if u find it they can get it.. or if you have a trusted source like i do, leave it to them to find the parts and get them to u for a good price..

expect to pay no less than 5k MINIMUM (im thinkin more like 7k) for all the parts, and shipping from taiwan.. that will not include paint.. if you want them to be oem parts that is what you will more than likely pay..
good luck man.. and if u need an importer i have one here in norcal..
