I'm back!!!

I'm back on this forum from being gone for about 5 years. When I was 16, I got my first car which was a 1990 Toyota Camry. Aunt was the original owner and car was very clean for its age. Loved the Toyota name and quality, very stupid of me for not keeping it. Traded it in for a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT. That just recently got totaled due to a old man hitting it while it was parked on the street. In place of the Grand Am, I found a 2005 Toyota Avalon XLS with only 20k miles (Older lady owned it) I must say, I am very glad to be a Toyota owner again.

I have a few questions though, I'm sure you Toyota guru's have a place to order parts from without paying dealer markup. Would you mind sharing that website with me.

Current plans for the Avalon:
  • Tint windows 15% all the way around
  • OEM lip spoiler
  • Replace stock bulbs with Sylvania Silverstar zXe bulbs since mine didn't come with HID's (On order!!!)

Also is it possible to swap out the screen that shows the temperature outside, average MPG, and all the other stuff with a stock navigation system or no?

Not sure about the screen but you will love the tints. Especially if the car is a dark color like grey.
