My son and I have a 2006 es 330. We would like to add and sporty looking body and kit, lower the car and add a great sounding exhaust. I am having a difficult time finding parts for this model. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Buy yourself a Honda.

Not much in the way of body kit parts. eBay does offer an inexpensive lip spoiler if you search. Don't lower the car IMO, terrible waste of money and ruins the ride.

Wheels, headlights, and the stereo are far better places to spend your money.

How about replacing the ultra conservative 6 spoke 17" wheels with a set of nice, sporty 5 spoke wheels like these, you can reuse your tires and just need a set of hubcentric rings, then sell the OEM wheels to recoup most of the money.



I am running the 16" 5 spoke RSX wheels, these two are some of my favorite designs.

Some Camry parts might swap over on the ES330.

Check out this build thread by a TN user who added a lip kit to his Camry. He used a Subaru front lip I believe and it fit well:

Next I would upgrade the rims. If you're sizing up, the max I'd go is 18" to balance looks, comfort and tire price. If you're sticking with the 17's, newer OEM Toyota/Lexus rims are some excellent options, such as those from an Avalon or Camry SE.

I don't recommend lowering the car. If you do want a stiffer / sportier ride, you can take the strut and coil assembly from a 2004-2006 Camry SE V6.

As for a lip spoiler, you can get a small lip from eBay, like I did to my Lexus. I think it came out sweet:


Or you could use a Camry SE spoiler (I installed one on my old Camry, you will have to drill the trunk though):


Can't really help with exhaust mods, other than seeing what other Camry owners have done in terms of a new muffler. You could go all out and do some custom work to get a dual exhaust:

Remember, keep it clean, not too dressed up, as the boy-racer look doesn't go well with the 4ES.

If you want better handling get a TRD rear sway bar and set it to full stiffness, this will really help with plowing and make the car more neutral with little to no ride penalty. Also, a set of 8 inch wide wheels in 17 or 18 inch diameter will help you get more than enough rubber to the road for this car. The easy route for this is to find some wheels that came stock on another toyota as they are almost all interchangeable. For instance, I run sc430 wheels, they are 18x8 and I got them for $250 on Craigslist.

As for the exhaust, I contemplated it but then I actually got under the car and studied the stock unit. The stock unit is so well built and engineered that I just couldn't justify cutting it up. Maybe an intake will give you the sound you are looking for without having to do anything permanent.
