I need advice...

Ok, so far for my camry i have...
1. Installed a stereo system, and subs.
2. I installed an Injen short ram intake.
3. I installed a nice stainless steel muffler.
4. I installed some new gauge faces.
5. I even put up a website
But what now? im on a pretty low budget, and when i get money.. I spend it lol
What else should I do, any cheap DIY's or something. I have alot of free time, cuz im off from 3:00pm til 7:00am i have all this time to do what ever the hell i want. So someone tell me what i should do next...

Well, your mods are kind of contradicting. You have performance mods, but then you put a system in. Are you going for performance, or show? Cause it will take a lot longer if you build up both at the same time.

Werd. Tellin' it on the real. There's nothing wrong with having a bit of both if it's your daily driver. I would question if somebody had a dedicated track car and put underbody neon and 4 subs in the trunk

Well, make sure to yank your subs before draging it.

If you need some stereo hook-ups, I goty you covered. I know some good wholesalers. And even cheaper stuff if you don't mind generic. PM me if you want. I'll set you up

I wouldn't get a short-ram. They are well known to cause loss in low-end torque, and suck in mainly hot air. Just get a K&N Drop-in filter.

Muffler, I have one on hand if you want. Not used at all.

And a website... Rock on man! Everyone needs a website. Gotta rock the ride.
