What mod to do next?

I have a 95 Camry 5S-FE And can't decide what to do next. What do you guys think? I'd like to do something that doesn't cost more than a couple hundred dollars. So far I have:

Intrax springs
KYB-GR2 struts
TRD adjustable rear anti-roll bar
SPW front strut bar
17x7 wheels wrapped in 215/45R17
Custom short ram intake w/ K&N
Custom cat-back exhaust w/ Thrush Turbo muffler and Magnaflow dual tip
Polyurethane motor mounts
Pioneer head unit
Kenwood 6.5" 2-way front speakers
Pioneer 6x9 3-way rear speakers powered by 200w Bazooka amp
2 10" Visonik subs each powered by a separate 400w Visonik amp

Thanks for your input.

I'd like to get something that is performance based, but the problem is that there is almost no after market support for Camrys, and I don't want to spend a fortune right now to custom build things. I also thought about window tint, but I don't want to get harassed by cops for it and at the legal limit of 70% I don't think that would be very noticeable.

So that you can get an idea of what I'm working with here, this is my car:

Hello fellow camry owner, you have some good mods on your cam as it is now. Unfortunately the camry's 4cyl. 5sfe does not have that many performance upgrades available for it. These are the remaining engine mods you can do to your 5sfe without going custom
-headers which only bosal makes for the 5sfe
-spark plugs from denso, bosch, ngk and maybe greddy or hks
-spark plug wires which only ngk makes for the 5sfe
-unorthodox racing pulley
-better timing belt
-race engineering makes pistons for the 5sfe but thats a little extreme
Note: nobody makes any camshafts, intake manifolds or throttle bodies for the 5sfe

For the exterior you should probably get an HID conversion kit. Your bulb type i believe is h4 but double check it. Eagleye makes an affordable bi-xenon digital ballast hid kit(i have this one), McCulloch is good too.

Also you can get a rear spoiler. Either oem or an after market one. As long as you dont get an aluminum or carbon fiber wing you wont attract much attention.

A cheap mod that you can do to the exterior is paint your calipers red or any color you want, it looks good and adds a nice touch to your wheels.

The only thing left for me to suggest to you is a gauge pod mounted on the window pillar. It could be a dual or triple pod. An oil pressure gauge is always a good gauge to get. Hope this was helpful. You can check out Toyotanation.com if you want more help/ ideas. Theres a whole forum thats dedicated to camrys.

Thanks,
First off I am already on ToyotaNation under this same name (95PimpingCamry) and I've been there since '05.

I already have NGK Iridium IX plugs and NGK wires.

As far as the Bosal headers they are only for the gen 3 (92-94) I have a gen 3.5 (95-96). The difference is that I have a cat in my exhaust manifold and a second O2 sensor that the Bosal headers can't account for (I don't like CEL lights). Also my engine doesn't have much power and isn't made to rev high, so the power it does have is between 2500 and 5000rpm. I'm afraid that freeing up the exhaust too much will make me loose the low end power that I have and give me minute high end power that I would almost never touch.

I am leaning away from the Unorthodox pulley because it eliminates the harmonic balancer, and I don't want to hurt my engine like that.

The timing belt is brand new (6,000 miles on it).

I'm not ready to put the time and money into an actual engine build, so pistons are out the question right now.

As far as HIDs, I have 9006 bulbs low and 9005 bulbs high and I would love to get HIds, but if I do it I want to do it right. This involves retro fitting projectors (without
projectors it produces too much glare) and personally clearing the lenses in my headlight assemblies (there are NO after market headlights for my car). Right now I have no idea how to do a retro fit and it seems like the amount of time and money required to do the clearing of the lenses, retro fitting the projectors, and installing HID bulbs and ballasts is not worth the end result.

I'm not a fan of actual spoilers on FWD cars, but I have always wondered about the universal M3 style spoilers on ebay. Anyone know anything about those things?

I'm actually trying to get people not to notice my brake calipers because they are meant to fit my stock 14" steelies and they look TINY with my 17" wheels. I also can't afford a big brake kit, they can get really expensive.

A gauge pod might be an idea. Any advice as to how to properly mold it to the a piller? I would have to make sure that it doesn't make my car look faster than it is or make it look like rice.

Thank you to all that have giving advice and feel free to correct me if I am mistaken on any of these subjects.

I've been chiilin over at ToyotaNation with the other Camry people. Static PSI told me to check over here. As far as HIDs, anyone know of any good DIYs for retro fitting and clearing the lenses? Also what would be good projectors to use? Thanks.
