Hello everyone
I'm a Camry owner now. 
I've had my 2008 Camry XLE for almost 2 weeks now. Has just about everything option wise including the DVD Navigation. Only mod done so far is replacing the XLE grill with the SE grill (idiot parts guy at Longo Toyota said it wouldn't fit, what a putz!)
Next item on the list is new tires/wheels. Will post pics after they're installed tomorrow.

RE: Hello everyone

RE: Hello everyone
I considered 18" wheels but I prefer ride quality over appearance, hence my decision to go with 17's.
I'm currently having a bit of balancing problems with the tires and wheels. After 3 balances, the ride still isn't smooth. Hub rings helped a little but the vibrations persist. They're letting me swap out the current tire/wheels with another package:
MB Wheels "Boost"
Yokohama YK520 225-50-17
Click Here!
The Goodyear ResponsEdges are loud, hopefully with these tires being a tad bit narrower, they'll be quieter. The "Boost" wheels are in gun metal grey which should look pretty nice against my metallic grey paint.
I'm definitely going for a tint job, I need to find a good tint place first. On my last car, I used a place called "The Tint Shop" in Rosemead, CA that I will never go back to. Completely unprofessional, they didn't use drop cloths and trampled my brand new car's carpet and mats. Anybody have some recommendations?
