you can either start with an exhaust system, from the cat back with a new air filter or rims, lowered springs, sports shocks, sway bars, front and rear strut tower bars, new bushes first to improve your handling.

or you can go cosmetics and go for a bodykit and undercar neons.

but if you want to get power mods like major power mods, i'd recommend you start with your brakes and handling gear before putting in big power mods like turbos or superchargers.

as my first mod to my 2001 v6 camry sedan, i just gotmy windows tinted, then a 2.25" cat back and a new k&n replacement air filter.

i'll be going for lowered springs and sports shocks next accompanied by new rims and rubber.

cosmetics after that, then finally engine and ICE mods. then if i'm not happy with my handling, i'll be going for front and rear strut tower bars, sway bars and new bushes.

be prepared to spend a ton of money.. even on looks alone

ok ok you can argue nitrous is kinda looks, but believe it or not.. i've seen people put fake empty nitrous bottles in their cars for the looks!! sad..

body kit,
rims,
springs (to lower car), shocks also (or else urs will die out with aftermarket springs soon,
paint job (which can be insanely $$$)
lots of neon everywherez,
id get door poppers just cause they're soo cool hahaha

yea anyway, i'm sure you've seen the movie a buncha times, just take a look at what they did

oh geeze
not to be mean, but first thread that has made me laugh out loud in a while.

You might want to consider a different car if you want to be "2 fast and 2 furious" ...

reminds me of this cartoon:

hehe a custom paint job alone can be $3000, so i gues we'll scratch that..

http://extremedimensions.com/index.asp - these people have some nice looking body kits

a bit pricy, but i think some look good.. just go to their body kit -> camry -> 97-01
you'll find it im sure

but then you'll want rims.. with that body kit..

it's kinda like.. give a mouse a cookie.. and ...
he'll want a glass of milk..
