Lately ive been lookin around for aftermarket parts for my car but i can find anything. Lips (besides riced out shogun ones), Mild sideskrits, engine bolt on (headers, full exhaust). Do i have to get them custom fabbed? Any good sites with 3rd gen parts to glance at would be cool. Im looking for any site in general. Thx
yea ive looked through that about 20 times. I might be an idiot but i dont see any links or sites where i can pick up some good headers? Exhaust either. Half the links for the body kits dont work and the only one that i find tastefull is the erikkson, but its only available in germany so i hear. Ive been on forums before, i know the whole search deal. Any other sites or place people have picked up headers would be great. Thx
like yaknow, get in ya car and drive around and check out all the local shops? many will be very willing to help you out and go out their way to get a new customer and new products that they didnt no existed.

There is a company that makes 1MZ-FE headers, I can't recall the name company offhand but as I recall, they cost a shitload of money (about 1k).
TRD also made a 1MZ-FE supercharger which is now discontinued, if you keep your eyes open I'm sure you can find one or find a store that still has one in stock.
There's CAI's made by various companies for the 1MZ-FE, I believe AEM makes one. As for catbacks, you'll likely need to have something welded up. Not a huge deal at all, just buy some mandrel bent tubing for the bends you'll need, take it in to any place competent in mig welding and have them weld it up. They should only charge you labor and for maybe hangers and/or flanges.
Beyond that, there's pistons/rods available for the 1MZ, there's performance bearing sets, etc.
The only things you'd really need to go custom for is 1) a turbo (you'll need a custom exhaust manifold and/or if you want to cheap out you could just have a custom downpipe made and run piping up for the intake) 2) cams, you can go billet or grind 'em 3) intake manifold
I wouldn't be so concerned with the intake manifold until you really are putting down some power though.
Im pretty involved in the import scene where i live and i know plenty of people. Half the ones i know sit and try to bag me for going from a clean fast prelude, to a automatic 6 cylander camry. Most of the other people ask why im going to try to do anything to it (no one knows shit about camry aftermarket parts other than TRD, which doesnt off much and is expensive). Ive talked to one person whos really been able to help me out, and hes on here. Thats why im asking you guys.
those apps are for 97-up. I have a 95... shitty. Oh well, ill just get ahold of someone i know who makes custom fabbed exhaust/header systems to fab one up. Thx for the info
