Mods for 1700.00?

What kind of mods could I do for 1700 bucks?

I need a better visual appearance... but I'm open to your suggestions.

It's a badly painted gloss black 1996 Camry



(Without the snow and vinyls on the windshield.)

if ur lucky u can find a shop that will repaint the car for around that. or if thats blowing ur wad on one thing then get some suspension parts and rims instead. but that wont make the paint any bettter.

Clear corners..cheap 25 bucks maybe
Sports Springs 100-300
TRD/Whiteline RSB-150 or less
Rims 17/18's with tires.shop around. I paid less than 700 for my current shoes
Thats 1175 on the high end and u still have money to play with!

Screw that, I say vegas!~

See if you can get the paint fixed without repainting it.

Get coils, RSB, maybe a decent sound system and head unit if your into that sort of thing? carbon fiber hood... tons of other stuff.

Depends on what you're into I guess... performance... power.... soy sauce...

Visual Appearance?

Body Kit ~ $500
Lowering Kit ~ $450 [Struts + Springs]
TRD RSB ~ $175
Rims ~ $450

Thats $1575 right there, so you have a little excess to be picky ...
i would definitely go that route

For 1700 you could get a butt load of stickers and paste them all over the car. You cover up the bad paint and get extra power too.

Personally I would invest it in the interor, but that comes from a guy who spends wayy too much time inside the car.

From what i've read, a carbon fiber hood is a great decision; it takes nearly 30 lbs off your car. And I think Milt is selling one for like $400.

You mean one of the few.

And a turbo sounds like an excellent idea.
