Suggestions for Mods.

Hi guys, right now I'm rollin in a Gen 5 Camry sunset blue. It has 121k miles on it, but I need to do the 121k service on it and that's 300 bucks. So, after that I'm looking into some mods. I want to get springs first. TRD springs seem like the best option for me. I don't want it to be too low, but I want it to be aggressive. Next I'm going to look into a CAI. I know the dangers of that, but I guess I'll just have to be extra careful around puddles. Anyways, after that probably sport a nice muffler. Though I'd like to add more. Wheels are going to be last because they are pricey. Any suggestions would help.

Here are some pics:

Before I painted the hubcaps lol:

I get that advice a lot. I mean I keep seeing wheel and tire packages going for 1500. I mean unless you can find me a good deal that's out of my budget. lol

Hit up Jeff at Supreme. They have some closeout wheel specials right now that may fit your price range a bit better:

Bah more money. Well, time to save save save. I'll be updating this shortly. I'm going to get the springs sometime next week. Thanks for the advice on the struts.

Look for used rim/tire locally in your craiglist add,
start with spring then wheel

maybe other add on are
TRD Front strut bar and TRD rear sway ( better handling)
next exhaust
SRI mainly for sound only ( there is no CAI for gen5 camry need custom one)

Also ask yourself if you really wanto to add aftermarket part for your car. It not a investment and how long you planning to keep it.

Edit: It's a 4 cylinder.

Yeah the strut bars would be nice. The rim idea is nice. I've found a CAI. Or maybe it's just a regular intake. This will be my DD through out college for sure. I attend UNLV and will be going there for 4 years. So, I intend to keep the camry for at least 4 years.
