I have a '15 Toyota Camry XLE V6 Blizzard Pearl
I was thinking of adding on Body Side Molding.
How does it look in person? any pictures?
I had cars with it that I've added on after. I like the look of it either way [on or off]
I need a piece of the orig body side molding or something close. Where I might find something that will work? I'm reconditioning all the rockers on my white van and I need a piece on the sliding door.

Looking for installing this chrome "molding" under the doors?
I just bought a '12 Camry SE. However, the belt line molding (shiny trim piece below window) is dented in. How can I safely remove the piece without damaging anything? I may be able to knock the dent back out of this piece after removing it. Any specific tools required for removal? If I purchase the new molding from the dealer it will cost about $100, which I would like to avoid.
View 7 RepliesLong story short, the tint shop burned my exterior door pillar when I got it tinted like 8 months ago. Just now felt like dealing with it, so I got the new part in. How to replace it? The back has a lot of what looks like double sided tape and only 1 clip. In order to get the other one off it looks like I have to take off the chrome strip at the bottom since the black molding goes underneath the chrome...

I've noticed on both rear doors, the Lower Moulding (black cover at the bottom of the door) #12 in the attached diagram (Light Blue Circle), is very much separated from the body of the car, it's like bended toward the outside, but it seems to be exactly the same on both sides, I am not sure if this is normal or mine has a defect
Both front doors are OK, not 100% perfectly aligned with the body of the car, but MUCH better than the rear doors....
I have a 2012 Camnry I4 and want to clean the throttle body.
Is this throtte the type that I can manualy open valve by hand without damage, or does the pedal need to be pushed to open, to prevent computer or throttle timing issues?
I'd say that 95% of the time I don't miss the 6 cyl that I had in my last car but the other 5% of the time I'd like a bit more power. Is there anything that can be done to give the I4 more power and not reduce the average MPG? I would really like to have increased acceleration from a dead stop.
View 14 RepliesIs it possible to add a backup camera to a 2012 Camry LE and have it display on the display screen? I have read that many people have added backup cameras to their SEs or XLEs with navigation systems but I wasn't sure if it was possible on a basic LE with no nav. If it is possible to add a backup camera to an LE, which brands will work and where can you typically get them installed?
View 2 RepliesI got a concern about putting HID headlights, changing the lights inside to LEDs putting some brighter lights to the rear lights. Someone told me that adding these mods can do damage to the alternator. Is this true or not or can I do it with the stock alternator.

I'm not a basshead or audiophile in my old age, but certainly feel like a lot is missing without a sub. I've used the same ol' 100w 8" Bazooka tube I've had for years in the last two Camrys, but left the wiring harness in the 2007 when I traded it in out of convenience. I know Bazooka Tubes get a lot of hate, but they work well for what I want anymore; I'd like to add the sub to the SE, but I'm not entirely sure the connection will be same.
Has the speaker connector on the radio changed at all in the newer model years? Will it still be a simple plug & play using the Bazooka FAST Toyota harness and extension cable?

View 11 RepliesI read through all the discussions on this topic scattered across a number of threads, and finally pulled the trigger. Just wanted to share the simple steps I took and some pictures.
The overriding conclusion is: it is easy; you can do it without drilling holes!
OK, let's start with a few photos of the parts. Note the "infamous" clips and double-sided tapes in the third picture.
How do I remove side chrome door molding? Do they clip off?
View 3 RepliesI would like to remove the chrome window molding around the front and rear doors of my 2010 Camry. Is it difficult to remove? More importantly, when I go to reinstall it - is it difficult to get straight like OEM fit and finish?
View 3 RepliesOur 2005 Excursion has these side moldings (mouldings? whatever) on the doors. Plastic things, probably intended to absorb impacts from shopping carts, etc.
My driver side one is just hanging by the top. Looks to me like these are just taped on?
What I have to do to properly secure this bad boy? Should I remove the whole thing, remove the old tape, and use a whole new set of tape in both places? Does one apply the tape door-first, or molding-first?
And, most importantly, what kind of tape should I use, and where should I get it?
Over the weekend I was attempting to detail me car and install my HID Fogs when I noticed that the "Drip Molding" on the right side of my 07' GS350 was peeling. It looks almost like some type of thin cheap painted tape.
Here are the pics...
When I took it to Lexus of Cherry Hill, they told me that they were "puzzled" and that a service tech that has been there since 1989 has never seen this before. Asked if the car was involved in any accidents......
The car was purchased from a lease. All service records come from Lexus w/ a clean CarFax.
Twice now I have taken my 2011 Avalon to a drive-thru car wash and had the roof molding pop out of the channel. The first time I had this problem was when I went to a car wash that had large roller brushes that contact the vehicle. When I exited the car wash I saw that the driver's side roof molding had popped out. It was a quick fix to just pop it back in but of course the concern is that it could come all the ways out and be lost either on the road or in the wash bay.
So, for the next wash I took it to a "touchless" wash and when I pulled out the bay I saw that the passenger's side roof molding had popped out of its channel. So, I am guessing that since there are no brushes contacting the car that it is either the power of the blow dryer or the power of the water spray or a combination of all the above that is causing them to pop out.
My driver side door molding is missing a clip. This is the bottom half of the mold and one of the clips snapped off. I've checked junk yards and they never have any GX's. Just to elaborate the clip I'm missing is on the exterior side of the door, down by the bottom edge.
