I bought the most expensive 2009 Toyota Camry Sports Edition available at that time with leather interior, navigational system, Bluetooth, etc. Not long after purchasing the vehicle, I noted the gold pinstriping on the car's black body was beginning to fray at the outermost edges. It really got bad in a heavy rainstorm on my way from Austin to Corpus Christi. When I got through the storm, some of the pinstripping had actually come loose from the body of the car and torn away, resulting in uneven pinstripping. This is a recurring problem in a rainstorm or when I get the vehicle washed. The local dealership I bought the Camry from stated it would fix the problem when the weather got warmer (I reported the problem in late fall 2010), but I still have my doubts it will occur.
