To be honest,

I gathered two things from your posts-

1) it doesnt seem like you have a large disposable income (or you wouldnt have a camry)

2) you dont really seem like you are mechanically minded. This means you will have to pay professionals to do the majority of the work you want done.

These two things dont really mix.

In your case I can really only suggest one thing, and that is to sell your Camry (even though you love it so much) and purchase an already modified car of a style you like.

Performance modifications for later model (early 2000s) camrys will be hard to come by. With the VVTI engines, there is not a whole lot you can do to make any use of the way the engine is designed.

If you like toyota, maybe look at buying an early 90s model corolla, look for the SX models in the AE92 body shape, as they have the 100kw 4AGE engine, which is a good base for any performance mods.

Alternitively, if you are looking to modify for looks, not performance, you would first look at wheels (mag wheels) which may or may not be available in a wide range for the camry (never really had to check)

Lowered springs, tinted windows and a general tidy up (buff and a good polish) will be a start.

Then you will have to look at other things, like paintwork etc.

Best bet for a cheap and original paint scheme is to leave your original colour, and use a two tone theme (as this only involves colour on half the car)
