The first thing I did to mine was get tints. Had none on front and 5 in back. Felt weird, so I went 35 all around. Feels perfect.

Also, if you don't have the JBL system, I would really recommend getting new/more speakers. Stock nonJBL ones in my other Camry suck compared to the JBL ones. Get a sub. Infinity Basslink 200's are great. Really small so you won't loose much trunk space. The Basslink II's are good too, but slightly more expensive. A full car tint should cost you about 120-160 for the "good stuff". That and the Sub and the rest to spend on yourself sounds pretty good =P

Tint is the first thing I do to any car. Highly recommended and it looks great.

^+1 Get 3M or Llumar metallic or ceramic tint. Avoid the crap dye tint that turns purple in a few year.

How about a professional detail and tank of gas?

You do realize that 3M and Llumar also make that crap dye tint that turns purple in a few year[s] right?

Well yea, that's why I warn the OP to avoid it as possible and steered him towards the metallic and ceramic tint. Worth the extra cost.

Did the word "crap dye tint" come out wrong?
