1) i'm thinking of getting a black widow bodykit for my 99 camry but i need to know if they make them for the car or if i will have to get it molded on. Also how much do you think it will cost?<br><br>2) i'm pretty confused about intakes and filters and if they go together or what each do seperately<br><br>3) i was gonna get some 17" rims for my car, but my friend told me not to since it will slow down my car, do bigger rims make your car slower?<br><br>4) i need to know any infomation anyone can give me about the venom 400. Has anyone tried it? Good results?<br><br>any question you guys could answer would be greatly appreciated.

For quest. #3<br><br>Yes, bigger rims does slow down your ride and it will offset your speedometer by as much as 5-8 mph. It doesn't affect your engine performance that much, just puts a little more handling load on it in the long run. I am putting some 18"s with 40 series tires on mine soon (and lowering it). As long as you are careful with it and are cautious on what kinda wear and tear you put on your ride (no racing or hot doggin'), you should be good to go.<br><br>quest. #1<br><br>I think the Black Widow is too played out. I mean it seems like EVERYONE (not just Camrys) has this kit just because it is popular! Be original and get something that not too many people have. It will make your ride stand out more.

As far as rims go...keep the overall diameter of the tire/rim package as close to stock as possible. If you go bigger or smaller, it will affect the calibration of your speedometer. In other words...I have 205/60 15's on now. If I go up to a 17" rim I lhave to lower the series of the tire to about 45. If I keep the series at 60, it would make the overall diameter too big. I would probably have to put a 225 or 235/45 17 on to keep it close to the original diameter. Any good tire shop can explain all that to you.

i was also thinking about getting a black widow bodykit for my car, i'm pretty sure all you have to do is paint it and install, no molding required

if you want camry kits go to asylumms.com, scrool down until you see the word "camry" in red and click it.... and they got 3 non-TRD bodykits for the camry. expensive though but it'll give you an idea of what they look like. if u want a deal on any of those bodykits let me know, i might be able to get them around $600-$700.
