Question What to do?

There are many things that i want done to my car, but i dont know what to get:

Should i get:

Cross Drilled

Drilled Slotted

Or Regular brake


Also there is a trunk lip im interested in getting

the thing i dislike about this lip is that its chrome, and i'd think it'll look retarded if i buy it and put it on

Please help me decide...

ok you have to make a decision as to which brake rotors you want
i just did a complete brake job on all corners and i have amazing stopping power
i bought oem pads from toyota and got toyota rotors straight from the dealership
i dont plan on any hardcore track racing or any real demanding driving which will need superb stopping power
if you dont plan on taking your camry on the track i would just stick with oem brake components
high performance pads and rotors require a warm up period and need to be at a certain temp to get real stopping power
in regular daily driving, these wont do nearly as well as normal rotors
the ingredients in an oem pad versus a high performance pad are quite different and the super ones wont do shit with stop and go traffic or street driving
trust me, stick with oem, unless your drifting your camry :P or require super stopping power

as for that lip spoiler, its pretty sweet but try to lose the chrome
im trying to find something like that as well for my gen 3

no no id personally scrap the chrome and either paint it body colour or somehting
i wouldnt want to see a car "blinged out" with chrome pannelling and little sticky things as far as i know of since that looks cheap
its up to you, but by the way your car is going already id keep things subtle

IMO first thing I'd do is remove the bumper guards u have there. the adhesive that holds them on over time will eat away at the paint AND there kinda pointless since they are there to protect the bumper from scratches but if u leave them on for a long time the area underneith will not have aged as the rest of the bumper has and look kinda...off. id scrap the lip idea unless u paint it to match the color of the car.

as far as the brakes go, if u just want them for show then go slotted and drilled for that extra performance look but be warned, they ware down pads faster and really wont do much for stopping power compared to bigger rotors or calipers.

I have to agree with big bird. Def go with bigger rotors and calipers. Looks better and will get the job done.

^LOL, im trying to, theres way to many things going on in my life that requires money, Stupid things in fact, but i cant seem to save my money no matter what i do....i was looking at these rims and praying to have them by the mid summer
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=011
They are something to want i want the car to look like, the black will go with the tints and the silver/chrome, just to make them stand out...but there no money available fro them...unless someone is willing to buy them for me with is impossible,

Bigbird, about the bumper guard, i didnt put them on, they were on the car when i got it, so im not getting them off anytime soon...also i was wondering in changing my exhaust system since when i accelerate fast, i smell rotten eggs, and if im not incorrect, there was a thread about that and the solution was to change the cat, but i was thinking should i just change the exhaust system and save me a couple of bucks in the future by changing the whole exhaust and not just buying the cat (running about $100+) and getting the headers and exhaust pipe (OBX R) off ebay, for ~$300? WOuld that be a smart thing to do? Also if anyone has changed there headers and exhaust pipe, i'd like to hear and sound clip on this if its possible

well if u did a full exhaust with headers and a hi flow cat i could see it being worth it since it would free up some hp but its gonna be loud unless u put in a resonator and a fairly quiet muffler. if ur gonna jsut replace the car id suggest getting a hi flow anyways since they clean the exhaust better and there around the same price as OEM, just take more to put on.

might sound somthing like this depending on the setup u run.
