My new Camry. Need advice

Hello all,

I have been a 99 Camry holder for many years now. I never really did too much with my 99 except drive it.

The other day I bought a 2007 LE. I am loving it. It was as basic as it gets. So far I have done the following:

-Tinted the windows (20) $160
-Put new 17' wheels plus new tires (Just for the summers) BM Octanes
-Removed the CAMRY & LE decals
-Put a custom black/chrome license plate holder in the back. Straight chrome for the front plate.

In the next 2 weeks I plan on doing:

-Have the whole body touched up (Minor scratches and what not) $170
-Add a clear bra to the front end (24 in) $250
-Paint my calipers black

I need assistance on what other moves to make. I especially am unhappy with the interior dash areas. I want to replace that gray color which has badly scratched up. Has anyone seen the piano black interior dash kit? I can get most of the pieces attached for 200-300. Or can I get these scratches all out some other way? I am also thinking of getting the two tone stripe made thicker. I can get lettering type work done for $50. Also will look into possibly getting black decals from Toyota, but I think it might be pricey.

I will add more pics soon, but here's the current look. I need to know what will make it even better.

i scratched my dashboard above the glove box by accident and it was very noticeable... I touched it up with armor-all because it's so gooey and makes the applied areas look darker... works well, I just reapply once every few months when it fades out

btw your picture isn't working for me

I would like a all black center dash & console.It's hard to find a single DIN aftermarket radio that looks good in these cars.
