Get your car a complete Detail. It'll look much better without the swirls and scratches on the car

Funny, My camry can compete with the new Civic Si's, and has more horsepower potential, yet you categorize it as "slow"... Have you driven a car that exists outside of Forza 3/ GT4?

Back to topic;
-Drop her about an inch (usually not cheap, but hey, if you find some discounted lowering springs)
-Touch up any scratches in the paint
-Clean her up a bit (carpeting, headliner, wash and wax, seafoam
-Foglamps.
-start saving for an e53 tranny, and either a V6 swap, or 5S-FTE MR2-turbo setup .

Don't forget stickers though... lots and lots of stickers. Hell, you can even plaster a big ol' V-TOK banner across your windshield
+500whp right there

*Edit*
I dunno Lynch, best $150 I threw at my car was taking her for a tuneup, and asking my mechanic to advance the timing to 17* btc while he was at it

Discounttiredirect.com Has some really inexpensive and nice rims. You can stick with 14s if you want so you don't have to buy new tires and still have nice looking rims. Personally I don't know why ppl have 2 buy such large rims anyway and ruin their car.
