Well, my thoughts on camry so far have brought me to the same conclusions: It looks pretty good, but its just SLOW. There isn't much to get around that.
But if you can't make it fast, make it loaded.
I'm thinking that instead of ricing it out with body kits, etc that wont matter when im done with the car anyway, and do little for me or my passengers, why not go hi-tech?
I'm thinking of doing some of the following. If you have any ideas, comments, TUTORIALS (hint: I would love these) and pictures... please post them. Thanks Again very much
Rear Entertainment System
- Video Screen
-I Was thinking a cieling mount was the way to go, but it may block my view of the rear view mirror, I will check that tomorrow, any opinions on position in the back seat?
-the video screen WILL be in the back, I distract easily when driving (I'm the guy that pulls into the grocery store parking lot then remembers he was supposed to go to the post office.)
-Wiring scares me a little. A/V connections I could run... but that means taking stuff apart. Haynes Repair manual would be enough? Or something else? Also, how do I get juice from the battery? No electrical experience in a car here!
-PS2/COMPUTER?!?
-Yes I know it sounds far-fetched, but it just so happens I have a computer that might retire soon. Throwing in a TV tuner and DVD player might save me some cash. It already has video out to run to a tv monitor... think that'll work?
-Now where to mount that playstation/computer? I don't like it under the seat... and a computer!? forget it... but that rear fold-out arm rest looks like a great spot. What I'm thinking is, cut the inside of the fold-out into the trunk. Then, make some sort of mount to hold in the ps2/PC vertically and screw it down in the trunk right against that part of the seat. UPSIDES- No floppin around! Looks cool! DOWNSIDES- takes up space in trunk BUT might put subs/amp beside it anyway AND ruins seat AND there was another downside but i forgot it (too tired)
-Power? Can my gen 3 handle a tv screen and computer? What about turning on sound with that? I have an auxillary on my pioneer head unit, so no FM modulator (aka ghetto hook up) needed.
Rear Camera
Just saw this on ebay, a camera and lcd screen. The screen is mounted into a rear-view mirror and the camera goes on the back of the car (somewhere). Just wonder if anybody has thought about this.
Another BIG question is EBAY shopping. I see fairly cheap LCDs that are nice looking (
Example of Good looking one ) What are brands, sellers to stay away from? Good ones? Etc.
Sorry for all the questions, I tried to keep them specific. Thanks to anyone who gives me any kind of help. I'm pretty new here, but if I do go through with this, I will make tutorials and pictures.
I've seen just the screen by itself with just a line in, and screens with tv tuner + various inputs. So you kind of have a choice depending on how upgradeable you want to be.
Don't know what kind of correction you'll get with that dvd drive in terms of jarring bumps. May not work as well as you'd like.
just some advice! 
thanks for the help
