how would it be better than the stock one....the reason there was a different one to begin with was to clear the s/c

Because, the stock one was a rolled piece of metal, where as this one is solid aluminum. Much stronger, much less flex, if you were to bend it at such an angle that it didn't put force on either shock tower, then it would be doing no good, it would be as if it were raised, there wouldn't be enough bar to compensate for the movement.

Some silverstar turn signal bulbs would look great with those corners. They have a sort of blue tint to the bulb. type in 1157 silversatar on amazon and see what you come up with. I love mine.

Personally, I think if you want yellow fogs, then go with the bulbs instead of film on the lens face. That way it's not so in your face but still gives you the look you seek - especially at night. ;)


Better idea, Thx PXL. I think I will look into this, I really like the yellow "JDM" look for some reason.

oh, and Camry Racing, I just mocked it up with the bar and then bent it slightly (accordingly) being careful to keep it in its shape. If you bend it so much that it looses it's strength or shape, then its no better than the stock one.


darn it now I dont know if I should go and buy a 4cyl strut bar and try to do same like yours

I would go with those BLACK V6, but the police out here suck. They pulled my buds Maxima over for having "clear colored" turn signals. I really don't wanna F with that. I already had enough of them when I tried no front plate.

And camry racing, Just go ahead and get one man, its really easy, just put it on and see how much you need to bend. It won't hurt anything, it can always be bent back into shape if you bend it just a little bit too far. :wink:

I've been looking for black housed headlights for soooo long!!!!! PLZ someone sell me them!!!!!!!!!

ps - i have those clear corners too, we should stick an LED in them to have brighter output during the day, since there is no mirror like finish. i just dont know whice LED will give the best performance.

pps- do u have HID in ur set up?

No I don't, I don't need/want HID's because I do alot of switching between high and low due to the hilly area I live in at night. I've heard switching beams a lot is bad for projectors. And I wouldn't even know how to begin to install an LED in my corners. ...lol :lol:

You don't need projectors for HID's and u can get them in hi-lo beams. and as far as the LED thing is that when you put an LED in it hyper-blinks (blinks very fast) some people like it, some people dont... but its as easy as replacing the bulb if ur ok with the blinking. Who did u get ur headlights from??? i NEED them.

Oh I know nothing about headlights and projectors and etc. I just assumed HIDs and Projectors were the same thing, or that a projector was a part of a HID system. Maybe later on down the line I will look into it, but as of now I have more important car related things to take care of. Next mod on my list is the independent fogs.

And to Camry Racing, Just go for it. Its 22 bucks from ebay, shipped and I felt a difference. Like I said, just bend it slightly. If you bend it too much, it can be bent back in to shape with a little persuasion. Let me know if you'd like the link to the bar I purchased.

Hmm... they shouldnt tough you for those though... That sucks. They still have a amber tint to the back of them if you look at them close enough... The police here dont even notice them. Ive seen cars with no turn signals at all roaming the city for 5 or 6 months before...

Waaay better! I like the new headlights.

I think the big fogs date the car too much. Personally, I'd remove them and replace 'em with smaller sized PIAAs (or some other small HID fog) and make brake ducts in the open area behind the new fogs.
