I finally scraped some money together, and I was wondering what you guys think would be the best mods? So far I have a SRI and swapped a few interior lights. Im open to anything besides lowering springs/rims. I was thinking about just about anything else, from dampers, muffers, tint, etc.

Exhaust, you can do a Borla or Magnaflow for less than $200 installed. Great bang for the buck.

think out of the box, someone you want to work-on or something you wanna slap on, it all depends on preference. it can be more leds, cluster led swaps, exhaust, headers, projector retrofitting(DIY), and other stuff.
I would say Tint. Looks and helps with heat! Sencond choice would agree with Jim.... Muffler/Tip. Love my Magnaflow and got it for $100 and spent $15 on clips, adapters, hangers.

Instead of doing one big mod, another option is to do several small/med ones. On your budget you would be able to buy all the parts and tools you would need to do ALL of the following:
-Additional brake lights - There's a really good DIY thread about these though I've had trouble with fuses when i tried (you'd have to buy a corded drill, cordless are too expensive for the budget)
-Audi-style DRLs (I'll be writing a DIY as soon as I finish)
-Replacing all the LEDs inside your dash (this includes the purchase of a soldering iron, but make sure you know your way around soldering before you do this one)
-Replacing the Dome and Trunk lights with LED ones
-Adding a pinstripe around your grill
-Detagging your car (i.e. removing "Corolla" from the back)
Depending on how you spend, you'll also be able to:
-Replace your reverse lights with brighter LED ones (good for parking lots at night)
-Paper-mache your car in TRD logos (tastefully, of course)
-Add under-seat lighting (There's a DIY for this as well)

Reason: typos
Best way to spend it? Give it to me! Lol all jokes aside, and if you're up for it, bid on the D-Style lip kit or the K-Style and get it painted and installed. Im sure the total will be around $250 if you shop around.
