Looks really good! Very clean! That's a really good paintjob for the price! I like the way your rims look, what kind are they?

Looks great. On another note, I find it odd that our turn signals stay beautiful, while our headlights turn yellow and nasty. Ish is bananas.

My 1999 Nissan Altima did that too. I just replaced all the front light housings. I don't know why but my 2000 Solara's headlights are still crystal clear. I put Meguiars Plast-X on them every few days to keep them that way. Mr. Krispy is right, Past-X is awesome.

i think maybe the H.I.D lights and parking in the sun very long are the main reason why the headlights become hazy. The H.I.D lights throw off a lot of heat...but i received the new set of headlights and they look so nice and shiny. i will install them this week...update on pics in few days

Those rims are from a G35...i have some custom TRD caps in the center. I know a lot of people want those caps here because they are very rare. the day i get new rims i will list them for sale here :)

Paint Color is 040 Super White 08 Toyota

I guess this is # 40 from toyota's book. it probably comes from the new white Camry color. Not sure but it definately is not pearl.

I didnt want pearl white...thanks for the compliments!
