Just picked a up a Silver Camry last night. It's an SE V6 with Nav and TRD wheels. Trying to get used to it because I came from a Nissan Armada. I'll miss the room but not the gas mileage.
Anyways, I will be looking into a few minor mods that hopefully some of you can help me with.
First priority is to tint the windows. Not too dark
Then I'd like to get built in DVD players for the headrests. After that, maybe some door moldings. I won't doing any engine mods.
I look forward to speaking to you guys more soon!

Couldn't get pictures in time. Had to run errands and the snow got to it. I will get pictures up soon.
Anyways, I'm wondering what people think about how I did with pricing on my car. I hope I didn't overpay
The Details:
2007 Toyota Camry SE V6
Navigation with JBL stereo
TRD Rims
Sport Leather package
Remote Starter
MSRP: 33,800 plus $500 pinstripe package by dealer (I did not want the pinstripes and told them to take them off when they tried including that as bargaining power) So the sticker is roughly 34,300
I ended up paying 28K before ttl
I thought I did great, but now I'm having second thoughts

Yeah you did good. I didn't get any of that extra stuff because I knew I could do it on my own for a lot cheaper and get much better stuff. IE JBL speakers, yea no thanks. $1000 upgrade to crap, IMO. But I got my 07 LE V6 brand new at the end of 06 for a few thousand less than you did. So I'd say with all the add on's you did just fine.
As for no engine mods, I would at LEAST get a K&N air filter. It'll save you money in the long run, performs better and will even give you a couple more HP. Just my opinion. I got one and loved it but now I just got a K&N Intake that I'm hopefully installing this week, tomorrow if possible.
Take care and welcome!

Another stupid question, does it void warranty?

Here's the link to the one I got.
http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=69-8611TS As you can tell by looking at the pictures they are in fact different than the one you showed me. I did see that one, too but this was also the one that my local dealership was going to sell me and the one that actual K&N website recommends. I did get mine installed last week and it is AMAZING! I love the sound and you can really feel the difference driving it. Install took about an hour and was pretty simple.
As for the warranty, not a stupid question at all! I asked my dealership the same thing, and also asked if they installed it would that mess with my warranty. I was told more than once that having it on there doesn't void anything. If I did something wrong during install or messed something up that resulted in an issue, then that wouldn't be covered by my warranty. If there was an issue with my car not related to the K&N intake, then it wouldn't matter since it's not related to it and the warranty would cover it. They also said it doesn't matter if they install it or I do, so long as any issues that arise are not due to the intake being there, whether or not it was properly installed by me or them.
Hope this helps!!!!

Show off!

I actually got mine for $199.99 but it wasn't through a website. Regardless better than paying the $300 K&N want.
