Awesome!

Took apart the drivers side sun visor. Adding a Homelink device, fixing the mirror (fell out the other day), and fixing the interior cardboard flap that broke.

I ran at the beach, drank three beers and spent the afternoon on the couch.

Pretty standard disc brake install. Hers is an 07 as well. If you don't have to turn the rotors it probably 1.5 hours or 4 beers.

Thanks. Yeah I'm hoping to not have to, but who knows. Could you take out one bolt, flip the caliper up and take the pads out or did the whole thing have to come off? On my truck I was able to take them out from the top without taking the caliper off at all, assuming I won't be as lucky with the Camry.

Not sure if that will work. I knew her rotors needed turning so I had planned to remove them anyway.

I too had a great day, until? Dropped car off for L5,carravagio spoiler, & CCW's install. While at the shop, someone was there that needed new tires. Discount quoted her $1400 for tires only, I sold her my C6 Z06's for $1200 w/ almost new tires. Awesome, no needing to post or ship,also sold rear spoiler too. What a great day, until DUKE lost to the HEELS. I'll take that lost considering the gains I got. L8R THE FLASH
