Back in 2006, the largest automobile corporation put into mass production the updated Camry, which received the v40 index. In just over 3 months, it topped the sales charts not only in Europe, but throughout the world. Despite the fact that the car turned out to be more than successful, tuning of the Toyota Camry v40 was actively popularized among buyers, thanks to which the cars became real “candy” in terms of appearance and technical characteristics.
The Iron Horses have been modernized in all aspects. Today, vehicle tuning is carried out in several directions:
- modernization of the power unit;
- tuning the car interior and exterior;
- work on rear lights, car optics;
- modification of the chassis;
- re-equipment and additional equipment according to the “full stuffing” principle, within the framework of which all components and elements of the machine are changed.
In most cases, tuning a Toyota Camry affects only 1-2 aspects, since the corresponding measures cost the owner a pretty penny. In today's article, we will try to summarize all available information so that everyone can decide on the direction of modernization and have a clear idea of the scale of the upcoming work.
Why do Toyota Camry tuning?
If we talk about the appearance of the car, then the work of Japanese designers is, in principle, impeccable. The shape and appearance of the contour lines are quite attractive.
But since there are quite a lot of cars on the roads from this manufacturer, those who want to somehow stand out have to resort to tuning their iron horse.
Optional equipment
Expensive Camry trim levels are equipped with almost everything necessary, but affordable options lack many options. Necessary features that will increase comfort and functionality are installed additionally. The following additional equipment is installed on the Camry 50:
Installing a heated steering wheel
- metal crankcase protection will be useful if the car is operated in a region with bad roads or often travels onto country roads,
- a good security system will save you from unnecessary shocks,
- pre-heater or autostart, which will warm up the engine and interior before your arrival,
- heated steering wheel will make winter driving more pleasant,
- The rear view camera will help you park in difficult places,
- the blind spot monitoring system will protect you from some emergency situations,
- heating the rear sofa will increase passenger comfort.
What is chip tuning Toyota Camry
Chip tuning of Toyota Camry, and not only this brand of car, is done with the goal of adjusting the operation of controller modes. This is achieved by correcting the internal programs of the machine.
Chip tuning is most often done in order to:
- Increase the power of the machine's engine.
- Reduce fuel consumption.
So, for example, GAN blocks can be installed for Toyota Camry of different years of production and different types of engines:
- For turbocharged engines.
- Gasoline or diesel.
- For naturally aspirated engines.
- For engines that run on biofuel.
The temperature range in which the device operates reliably is from -40 0C to +60 0C. Its use allows you to save fuel when driving correctly. Although, in principle, the ECO or Dynamic mode can be set.
Door lighting
Camry V40 tuning does not provide door lighting; everything is done with your own hands. The door trim is removed, we pull two wires into the corrugation for standard wires - one is a minus door button, the other is a permanent plus, we connect them to the LEDs fixed at the bottom of the door. As soon as the door opens, the contacts close and the backlight comes on.
The branded lighting with the car logo is made using the same principle, only instead of diodes, a miniature projector is installed at the bottom of the door. The same procedure applies to the Camry 50, the tuning of which does not differ depending on the year of production, and the cosmetic modification of the Camry 40 in 2008 does not matter.
Car body tuning
The appearance of the Toyota Camry declares it as a stylish car. Therefore, when installing tuning, it is worth taking this into account and using elegant parts, usually made of chromed metal.
A radiator grille made of chromed metal can favorably emphasize the aggressive appearance of the car.
If you apply bumper covers, you can, without affecting the designer’s idea, simply emphasize this part to its advantage.
Toyota Camry body tuning may also include door trims. The set includes two joke front door trims with the name of the car. While the rear door trims echo the air intake grille, thereby maintaining the unity of the exterior design.
The use of trim strips on the mirrors, which also have a chrome-plated appearance, allows you to complete the overall appearance of the car and thereby emphasizes the unity of the design.
Appearance tuning
A popular color for the Toyota Camry executive car is black. We will not consider current trends among motorists to reduce ground clearance using different skirts and plastic door sill covers. All kinds of overlays on the headlights in the form of eyelashes or blackening methods are also not the best option (not for everyone).
You can make elegant external tuning of a Japanese sedan according to the following scheme:
- good airbrushing on the sides and hood;
- replacing standard wheels with forged ones;
- installation of rear lights with LEDs;
- trunk lid trim.
Airbrush
Changing the appearance of a car should be approached with extreme caution. Airbrushing is an effective way to stand out from the crowd of cars. Experts note that the risk of theft of a painted car is much lower compared to an analogue with factory body parts. It’s better not to skimp on airbrushing for your favorite car and order an original drawing from a professional company.
Discs
The installation of forged wheels in place of standard ones is associated with the low quality of Russian roads. Pay attention to Slik brand wheels measuring 16x6.5. The L77 model is very noteworthy. Over several years of operation, not a single dent will appear on the edges of the wheels, and during this time you would have to fix ordinary cast wheels several times. This is all provided you drive carefully.
Lanterns
The replacement of rear lights with LED ones can be explained by the response time: it is much less than that of standard incandescent lamps. Of course, this will not provide protection from fools on the roads, but for adequate drivers, a few fractions of a second can play an important role. LED lights are more visible in bright sunlight, unlike standard ones.
Spoiler
The trunk lid trim is the only gadget that does not play any practical role. It’s just that many people like this detail. You can install the spoiler yourself, but it is better to contact the experts at a specialized car service center. Professionals perform the work carefully and efficiently, and the machine takes on a new, original look.
After the procedures performed, the car will become unique and more recognizable. Discreet and noticeable airbrushing, as well as an elegant spoiler, greatly change the appearance of the sedan. In dense city traffic, the car will stand out without causing a stir among other drivers and pedestrians. In any case, you will probably notice interested glances.
Tuning car rims
If we talk about wheels, then you should give preference to forged ones, since chrome ones can quickly become unusable due to the poor quality of the roads.
Cracks and chips appear on them, and this already negatively affects the appearance of the car. Although, of course, it is chrome wheels that look most attractive and elegant.
Relevance of tuning for Toyota Camry
Quite often, owners of this brand of car resort to car tuning. But they do it at their own discretion and are guided by financial capabilities. In principle, this work can be partially completed.
But the most important thing is to remember that this work should only be done by qualified specialists. And various photos of Toyota Camry tuning on the Internet will allow you to navigate what will suit your taste and what will become unnecessary.
Tuning the interior of Toyota Camry 30
The interior of the Camry XV 30 could have become very worn out over many years of operation of the car, so it is often modified. The owners are also working on, perhaps, the main disadvantage and disadvantage of the “thirty” - sound insulation.

Noise insulation
Any car interior could benefit from additional sound insulation. The standard sound insulation in the Toyota Camry leaves much to be desired; for example, the roof is not equipped with it at all. Driving in the rain will feel like a drum band playing overhead. There are already ready-made kits on the market to specifically improve the sound insulation of the Toyota Camry XV30, but installation will require disassembling the trim and dismantling the seats. We described the sound insulation process in detail in the material “Do-it-yourself sound insulation of Toyota Camry 40.”

Interior reupholstery
Upholstering a Toyota Camry V30 with leather can breathe new life into the interior of the car. The center armrest, door inserts, ceiling and pillars are trimmed. In addition to leather, upholstery is done using Alcantara or combining it with leather.
