Gen5 Top 3 first mods on a Gen 5 Camry
Hey all,

I am brand new on this forum, I registered because it seems like the people here are helpful and have sweet rides.

I have a 2003 Camry XLE that I love, but it is fully stock. The problem I have is I am getting married in 4 months and my fiance doesn't want me to buy a new car until after we buy a house (it is the beginning of the end nooooo). I need your help! Please tell me what I should do that won't cost a fortune to make my car look awesome.

THANK YOU

a top notch job with washing the car goes a long way with getting noticed!

Tint/overlay.

You can go to autozone or whatever and buy your own tint but it is a pain in the ass to do...

So far I am thinking I will:

Tint
Auto body and detail the exterior and interior

I am a real estate agent, trying to decide whether to put new wheels or to put in a nice GPS navigation in.

I'd go with new wheels because buying a decent nav + paying for install is a lot more money
