Lightbulb Camry on a dime?

There is a television show up here (in Canada)called Diva on a Dime... The idea behind the show is to recreate a designer runway look on a bargain budget. I got to thinking, what if there was a show called Toyota on a Dime or more importantly CAMRY ON A DIME, what sort of things would be on it?

What are some of the what are some of the bargain budget mods that you can do to your Camry that still have a big impact and still give the WOW factor?

Thoughts or idea?

What is cheap? Cheap being 500ish? 200ish?

$0 to $200 TOTAL!

Its a slim range...but may prove interesting to see what people come up with.
