"I absolutely love the performance parts from GroceryGetterPerformance. Very few companies make performance parts for 8th gen Camrys but a few guys started their own company and did all the R&D themselves to help the ever-growing Camry community. Each piece is limited and a genuine improvement on performance. Because of them we can be "more" than the masses of cookie cutter Camrys."

FAVORITE MODIFICATION

"My favorite modifications will be my paint job and my seats even though I can't see over my steering wheel (haha)! I love the paint because it looks black but when the light or sun hits it you see that emerald green it's like a surprise. I love my seats because it remind me of my childhood like the cups they would have back then or for the floor of the movie theaters."

FUTURE MODIFICATIONS

"I want to add the star light headliner and the a pattern of sunflowers to my interior. I would also like to add a carbon fiber hood."
