2nd Generation Must have!

If you have anything or know anything, be it interior, or exterior, that will make my Gen2 Camry stand out! (Non-Ricerish) maybe just a little :P please let me know! I really want to mod out my 1989 Camry LE but I don't know where to start! What should I buy first? Springs, tint kits, body kits (how many are there?) etc.! Thanks!

Start with these 3 things Make it Faster, Stop Better, and turn quicker. Nothing gets noticed faster than a stock looking car wipping there ass.

Do what you want first. All you get with that question is 100 different answer and back where you started.

What is your main interest? Looks, performance, sounds? Then you'll get a more "detailed" answer that will suite YOU better.

It really depends on your taste,
* If your into sound but a nice system in the car, cazials in the front; subs; SPL/SQ car; etc
* If you like looks Interior, redo you interior, leather seats; change gauge colors; add cold cathodes; fiberglass your own dash board; Sound deadner
* If you like looks Exterior, special paint; new toyota rims; graphics; tint; retrofit HID headlights; clear tailights w/ LEDS; Body kit; etc

The posibilities are endless but it all depnes on your taste and the MULA you want to put into it.

hey mate I carpeted below the ashtray, below the handbrake, in the glovebox and in the centre console box with a dark grey carpet and put on a front and rear set of dark seat covers and the difference was amazing, felt and looked newer and luxurious inside. I also put on a black sterring wheel cover called a fat grip I think which is the best steering wheel cover I have ever had, it doenst slide at all and makes the steering wheel look a lot nicer. I also removed all the badges, painted the grill and the wiper arms the same colour as my duco. Also a nice set of floor mats make a difference. Then get out the armour all and buff everything up real nice, then wax the exterior. I know it doesn't sound like much but it made all the difference. Also get the darkest legal tint you can get that is what I reckon made the biggest overall difference. If you want photos I can post them.

you said your into looks ehhh. well a good dark tint maybe around 20% would look nice, new winsheild wipers = prolly crhrome or carbon fiber, if you cant afford rims (cause not all of us are wealthy) you could settle for nice hub caps to compliment your ride, muffler tips can make an ugly car nice if you choose the right look. ((( keep in mind this is the cheaper way to make your car look nice ))) later on whenb you save your maoney like most of us blow it out on the good stuff
