yea im thinking intake or TRD springs. i know how to work on cars and have all the tools so i dont have to play no one for labor. all ive done is paint the brake calipers black and changed my stock tires from 215/55/17 to 215/50/17. Which i cant wait for them to wear out so i can go to summer tires since it dont snow or get below 40's around here. Also got tints 20% front 15% back which i wanna change to 15% front and 5% on the back.

HID's, cheap, but a great mod.

Exhausts sound decent on v6's. Look into vibrant/borla/magnaflow. Duals might get close to the max you want to spend, though. Intakes sound just as good, and aren't as annoying as exhaust systems with drone. Just sound great when floored. MPG will suffer though.

I would either go with tints or HIDs.

HID's were my first mod

i wanna get a cat back but i think imma wait for another yr when im closer to the end of my warrenty cuz im planning on doing some good exhaust work. i want headers, y pipe, and str8 back exhaust for some good pony's. Got a lot of custome mufflers shops down here that will do me the work.

I already got tints. I might go intake or springs since I'm going to already be working on the rotors

AKM83 · 03-01-2011, 03:58 PM

Drop it. I think it's the best mod for the money. However, it will probably be closer to about $400 installed.

Otherwise, HIDs are also a great choice and shouldn't be more than $300 for lows + fogs.

i can install them myself i got a spring compressor. i migt just go all out and get the springs and the sway bar. Hopefully that income tax check is bigger then last yr

My opinion ... dont even bother with the cross drilled/slotted rotors, if you must get new oem rotors, or resurface your old ones. You really arent pushing that much power to need to stop that fast, its a camry. I doubt your going to be autocrossing it, but if you do , I would suggest other cars ... Resurfacing cross drille drotors may be a pain if the shop even attempts it.

Oem rotors+pads and brake maintance is the best IMO, no need for fancy brakes.

+1 on HID's though they do improve your visibility.

i know the camry aint a blazin fast car but i dont live up north and i own the V6 and push it hard a lot. Right now the highs here are 80 and the way i drive my rotors heat up way to fast. thats why they have warped for the 2nd time. its get new OEM rotors and wait for it to happen again or i can spend 50 bucks more for some vented and crossed drilled rotors and just because they r cross drilled or slotted doesnt mean they stop faster. lol
there to keep the temp down and better metal. im not spending 2 G's on a big brake kit. ive had a avalon before that has had the same problem. the metal toyota uses for there rotors arent that great for this weather here in miami, they heat up way to fast and warp a lot.
