Anyone know of a website that has body kits and mods for TCH?

I am having trouble find any, if any of you have come across some please post for me.

I also have a question regarding modding the car light bulbs (throughout the car) with LEDs. Will this save a significant amount of electricity? Is it worth the trouble?

 

Currently there isn't any bodykits available for the TCH yet alone the regular Camrys. In 6 months hopefully but I doubt there will be many aftermarket parts for the TCH unless they are compatible with the regular Camrys. I'd been looking for a SE Body Kit for the longest time but no luck.

For the Headlights I think there should be some HID kits available pretty soon tho.

 

Remember that a lot of the fuel economy comes from the aerodynamics of the car. If you start messin' with the body, you may lose a lot more in fuel that you would ever save in swapping-out lightbulbs!

 

Instead of Carbon Fiber Hood (which would help with the weight significantly) could Solar Power Hood be feasible?

 

Has anyone found any additional body kits for the TCH?

 

There are bodykits available. Search ToyotaNation for some pics and threads on that. You could also try the Toyota Japan site and look for Modellista kits.

HIDs can be bought at XenonDepot (www.xenondepot.com). It's based in Ontario, Canada.

LEDs can be bought off ebay. WarrenJP2002 seems to be the best seller (can't remember if there are underscores btwn the JP and the 2002...). Just check Sylvania's site for the correct bulb number for the bulb you're replacing. They may save a bit of electricity (more of a concern in the Prius with the smaller 12V that's prone to dying) but mostly they're brighter and look cool (esp. the licence plate ones. I bought a set from that warren guy and am in the process of changing my bulbs).

 

Thanks. Found a couple.

I'm in Suwanee, GA, just a bit north of Atlanta. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop to install a body kit on my TCH?

 

There are three bodykits available at this time for 2007 Camry. All are compatible with all Camry versions except for the SE. (Note that you cannot install a factory SE kit on other Camry versions, because the bumper covers are different)

I've have the RK Sport body kit sitting in my garage for weeks, but I finally started prepping/sanding the pieces yeterday, so hopefully I will have it painted and mounted by next week. There are plenty of pics on ToyotaNation of this kit installed.

There is also the Razzi body kit, which mimics the Camry SE. I don't know of any TCH that has this installed:

And lastly the Naristo kit, but all early indications is that this kit is poorly fitted, and you will end up spending lots of money to get it custom adjusted to fit correctly.

Really appreciate the support...

 

Well, then hopefully I will have more pics of this bodykit for you by next week!
