I have to weigh one of the stock wheels anyway for FedEX shipping purposes, I'll do that this weekend and post. BTW The stock rims seemed heavier than what I replaced them with (the new 5-spoke).
 
Regarding the spoiler, I thought about it - but IMO Toyota did a VERY nice job on the rear end of the Camry, and the spoiler spoils that. LOL. Plus I imagine it would increase your drag coefficient, add a bit of weight, resulting in a net effect which runs counter to the whole hybrid theme. But that's just one man's opinion.
 
Again, they did a fantastic job with the looks of this car, and a spoiler is just gilding the lily. Now maybe if I was 18 again....

While you have that scale handy, could you also weigh the stock tire? I believe (based on data at tirerack.com) that it should weigh 21 lbs., but wouldn't mind getting confirmation on that. Muchos grass!

McGeorge Toyota in Richmond, VA has a base Jasper Pearl with beige interior not spoken for the last time I checked. I drove it around their lot. Very nice. Ask for Dave. I got my Barcelona Red base TCH from him. 804-755-9200. Can't wait to take it on a trip, but I am too busy working to pay for it!

How did you modify the template to get it to fit? Can you elaborate and/or provide steps/measurements you did to adjust the template/hole placement?
 
Thanks,
Norrin

I am in the N. Cal area (sac) and have had several dealers indicate that Cal. law requires deposits to be refundable. I have not tried to verify this. There are a few dealers in this area that are so far great to deal with. Waiting for deliver of desert sand TCH this week end.

Unsold Camry Hybrid at Elgin Toyota (Illinois) by kevintlutz

I purchased a silver TCH at Elgin Toyota about a month ago. I was at the dealer yesterday and they had a Red base model with a sunroof that is unsold.
 
I purchased my TCH from Mike Conte (847-741-2100). I recommend speaking with him. He's a very helpful and knowledgeable sales person. Just tell him that Kevin Lutz sent you.

I lined up both templates (as directed) to the front and side edges of the trunk. The templates have a vehicle center line on them and the center lines did not lie on top of each other.
 
I measured the distance between the two center holes on the template and the spoiler and the template spacing was too wide by 3/8".
 
I then untaped the templates and aligned them with the front edge of the trunk and the centerline of the trunk (measured off the Toyota emblem and center of the back window). The hole spacing was right on then.
 
I did a writeup (link title) with pictures of the installation, #59.
 
Good Luck!!!!!

I've been trying to think why a dealship would require a nonrefundable deposit on a car they have no trouble selling. The only thing I can come up with (besides greed) is that the salesperson that makes the sale would get to make sure the sale is through them. If not then someone backs out, sure the car will be sold immediately but possibly via another salesperson.
 
From a dealer perspective this makes no sence, but from a sales person view this is a sale they get to keep even if you back out.
 
Personally if they are reading this board and seeing where people are on numerous waiting lists I can't really blame them to wanting to tie you down to a dealer and a car.
 
Also, it's difficult for the marketing folks to know what the demand for the car really is when there are 1000's on the waiting list but it's only 9 different people. (I'm exagerating)
