depends on wat u wanna go for, on my car from the outside it looks like a normal car, but in the inside, i have a kenwood stereo, JDM blue/black racing seats, JDM shift knob blue/chrome, reverse glow gauges, and custom vinyl doorpanels.

how much does a lip kit usually cost to get painted to match?

if your going to do it do it right and have the whole car painted. it ends up better in the long run.

I have been thinking about an HID setup for my 07 hybrid.. Where did u get yours and was their any issues with installing it. Any helpful tidbits would be appriciated. I seen HID kits on eBay from $179 up. I assume your replace the H11 lowbeams only.

thanks

The best way to go is to retrofit an OEM HID kit since it uses OEM parts and will last a long time. Also, using true HID projectors will produce the better output, less glare, and clarity than halogen projectors which you have now.

If you would like an alternative, I would recommend only going with Xenondepot's HID kit since they use high quality parts such as Philips D2S burners and Philips bulbs. The Stanley's halogen projectors found in the 6th generation Camry actually take well to aftermarket HID kits, so it won't be that huge of a problem unlike with other vehicles having aftermarket HID kits. Also, be sure to cover up the Squirrel Spotters.

The Squirrel Spotters are a big problem with the '07 Camrys and HID kits. The Squirrels Spotters are not DOT mandated. They are there to see road signs and stuff like that. They are covered up because they are OK with Halogen, but with HID the glare is unbearable to oncoming traffic. These can be covered up with aluminized duct tape that are meant to withstand high temperature.
