So I was recently involved in a fender-bender accident the driver in front of me stopped suddenly but the stopping distance between us was too short so I rammed into him from behind. Unfortunately only my car came off worse, while his car only sustained cosmetic damage, fortunately no one one was injured.

I had to change the bumper, radiator, bonnet and headlights, and draw out the radiator carrier/support.

Sanding all the rusted points, cracked/chipped paints and panelbeated points completed.

I intend doing a color change, and will not be using any of Toyota's stock colors.
Color of choice is pelican blue! And my motivation was this Audi owned by siena grin

Neither can I! only wish I could lay my hand on a 3d car painting app, where I could have played with the parts to paint black

I'm thinking of smoking the rear lights but not sure how it will look on the blue. What do you guys think?

I would leave the lights alone. If anything, I would lightly tint them red, as amber makes the car look dated.

The smoked look would make your Camry look like a pímp's car.

Why would you do this man? Its an awful color. And the rims? God why? Do you really have to go for a color that screams repainted-repainted-repainted?

There's nothing wrong with going with a colour that obviously wasn't an option on a particular car.

I too don't like the wheels, but it's his car. He did "this", because he can, and he doesn't have to please anyone with his choice, but himself.

So what if it screams repainted? Toyota colors are too common and many. No other Camry has this lovely colour. grin.
The rims will be all black the above was an experiment. To see how it will look
