Threads like this weird me out. Seems like you don't know what you want and spending money just to spend money.

Save the money for tires, snow tires if needed. Them 17s are expensive -- about 30-40% more per tire compared to 16s.

+1 Snow Tires.

All that other stuff just says "Hey I'm a kid, pull me over and give me a ticket"

Snow tires first, if your area snows a ton. Then onto full interior and exterior L.E.D swap, smoked tail lights, ect.

$400 Erisin head unit plus PAC Tato.Nicest upgrade inside my camry.Ive gone through solid ice and deep snow with good all season tires on a camry.I grew up when when all drove rear wheel cars and were sideways all winter.Any front wheel drive is like a 4 wheel drive compared to the 77 camaro I had in high school.Road clearing is also alot better now.

what kinda sway bar are you getting for $150 and from where??

I'd do intake, and rear spoiler first. And you could get interior LEDs b/c they're cheap. Then why don't you just blackout the taillights instead of ordering new taillights that way you could save some cash

Thanks for the opinions.

For the record I'm already lowered on TRD coils and I have snow tires.

I think I'll do the wing, the LED tails, and spacers.

Thanks all,

If you decide to go with the Erisin, I'll sell you mine (2 weeks old) for $300. I don't like the MP3 interface, and since that's the bulk of what I'll be using the car for, the other perks of the unit (the HUGE screen and the GPS) just aren't worth it.
