Red face Toyota 91 camry PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS NEED HELP

hey first time poster and im have some issues/questions hopefully you guys can help me out:

-what type of body kits are for this model?

-how much do you think a good all black paint job would cost to get for the car? (btw i have rust spots above the tires, small cement splash marks, and a small dent on the front of the hood)

-my car makes alot of noise when i turn my car on and just let it sit anything i can do to make it more quiet when its running?

- when i open my car door my light doesnt come on neither does my clock(well sometimes it will) how can i fix that?

- when i accelerate on the highway my car begins to vibrate/shake what could be the problem? do i need a tune up?

hopefully some of you guys on here can help me out! thanks in advanced

bodykits? ebruni and vader are most common. you probably wont find either of them new anymore, there may be a couple on ebay if you're lucky. i think they stopped making them a while ago

good black paint jobs plus prep isn't cheap. they have to pull all the moldings etc i'd say almost 5 grand? which is 10x the value of the car

makes alot of noise.. its an old car! whats your mileage. you can try tuneups and cleaning it. change motor mounts , bushings etc etc

the door light, check wiring, i dont think the clock comes on when you open the door, only ACC and above

acceleration, change your plugs, filters etc. full tuneup. its old!

what about these two websites right here they seem to carry them:
http://www.tunedauto.com/home.php?cat=662
http://www.grounddynamics.com/Templa...762&SearchYN=N

5 grand for a paint job is that including put on the bodykit because for a 91 camry that sounds a little backwards

how much does a good tune up cost?

what do you mean check wiring? someone told me its a fuse but yeah my clock comes on when it wants to its weird and yes its pretty well known that ITS OLD

u should worry about the maintenance stuff first before a body kit. .. there is no fuse for the clock i think it's run in series along with the radio fuse... could be a bad connection in the back... does it work when u tap on it ? yeah go get a tune up... air filter, oil change, spark plugs, and whatever else they find is bad..

and well paint jobs are expensive. if you want a good one that is.

yeah i just changed my mind on the kit
i think ill just worry about the maintence and the paint job
and i havent tried tappin it but ill give it a shot

as far as the paint job goes to be honest i just want something that looks good and that will last 3 or 4 years (im in college) and im not trying to spend more then 1 grand on it
