What do you guys think of the new grille?

[Ragnarok2]

Just put it in in my moms car. Bought it for about $100 on eBay. What do you guys think?

looks good. Adds a little edge to an otherwise bland car IMO.

I trust the ATOT community so much, I didn't bother hiding the plate number. That and I was feeling a little lazy too.

 

[Fenixgoon]

looks fine

 

[sandorski]

Could have used that money to feed starving kids in Africa instead..., but it looks good IMO.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Looks good.

 

[Zenmervolt]

I'm not a fan. It looks very out of place on that car.

Sorry, but I wish I had another set of hands, so I could give that grill four thumbs down.

Maybe it's because I didn't put in the lower grille and fog lights yet.

Are you serious? And why is that?

 

[BabaBooey]

Personally,I think it looks cheap,even the grills they use at unique auto are the same..


Now if it was black or even matched to the red .

 

[programmer]

Sorry but I've got to give thumbs down too. It looks kind of cheap and doesn't seem to fit properly.

It just looks silly IMO. It's a way of trying to bling out one of the least-blingy cars on the market. I actually like the Bentley-style grills they make for the 300C, because they suit the car - this does not. No offense meant, but you asked for feedback, and this thing just doesn't look good IMO.

When I saw your thread and you mentioned you bought it on ebay I thought you had installed one of theose aluminum billet grilles. Sorry to say that is not what I was expecting.

IMHO you paid too much, it looks cheap and, sorry to say it makes the car look quite ghetto. Reconsider installin a horizontal aluminum full billet grill. i paid only $69 for my truck and it worked out perfectly. It is brushed aluminum and not glitzy chrome like the one you installed ... which makes the vehicle look cheap.

Agreed. The milk's gone bad.

It screams "Let me see yo grillz!" An interesting image for a Camry.

The grille I installed is actually all steel...pretty darn heavy too. I would agree that it would look cheap if it was plastic chrome though...

Post a photo when it's all done and we'll see. I think it would look better with everything done, but I still think that it's not in style with the rest of the car. Then again, I don't care much for the Camry's current body style to begin with, so that's probably playing into my opinion as well.

Elaborate polished steel does not go well with shiny bulbous plastic looking red paint. I'd go with something sleeker and classier and less 'bling bling', and I don't think the horizontal billet grill would have looked any better. Thats the dime a dozen tired look that all the Mexicans around Tucson with F150s have been doing for a while (billet grill, 26"+ rims with spinners, altezza tail lights, chrome mud flaps and wheel well lips, etc, I swear there isn't a F150, the older curvy style, around here that doesn't have all that)

There are very few cars that don't look like cheap plastic when painted red. A Camry isn't one of them. But then again every car I have ever owned has been some shade of charcoal gray with graphite interior so I may be biased.

Check out the Aurion for some Camry styling cues that give it decent edge without being overly gaudy.

 

[BigSmooth]

I'm all for mods and I like that it's different, but that's a little too much bling for me.

 

[OFFascist]

You should have gone for the standard OEM SE grill.

I'm planning to get one for my Camry LE.

 

[Jawo]

Wheres the NoX bottles? You cannot pimp out an inexpensive asian import, or expect it to look like a european car.
