Gen5 The 5 best improvements on my generation 5

What are your five favorite mods to your generation 5 Camry? I have only had mine for a few months, but the 17" Avalon rims and Continental Extreme DWS 235/45/17 tires are some of my favorite improvements. The window tint and strut brace are two more good ones.

you're kidding right? TRD strut bar from www.trdsparks.com for one and there are many other toyota/TRD accessory stores. Ultra Racing makes one too. Ebay has TONS of strut bars as well...

I got lucky. I found a 6061 Billet brace on Ebay (new) for $25.00 with shipping. I just checked, they are gone.

This is the seller, if you want to contact (or watch) him : http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/surewinproducts/
