nah, no need, it gets parked behind my garage, and its safe at work... so im straight on that. any thing as far as looks, or performance, or I.C.E. i did want the AVIC-D3 + Sirius, but Curcuit City was sold out at $700, and BestBuy rose their prices back up to $1000, is there any place online that is reliable to buy from and that wont send me a messed up one?

Damn you're in NY, otherwise I'd tell you to get Tints if you already have not. It makes the car look so different (in a good way!)

lol at the guy that mention the grills and the intake, THAT HE ALREADY HAS!!!!

honestly i'd get some and shocks to complete the suspension. and the led change over, that probably over 1k but everyone needs a shopping list. and the swap won't cost that much

personally i don't see the point of window visors if you don't live in a tropical climate where it'll be hot and raining at the same time. someone please explain.

also it doesn't have to be raining or hot at the same time, if it's hot you can crack your window while parked to cool the car down, if it's raining then you can have the window cracked so you have fresh air instead of using the a/c.. i tend to like my window cracked while i'm driving on the freeway instead of having it all the way down and reducing gas mileage.

lol cant go lower, if i do, i'll be buying a new bumper everyday because im ¼" away from the road when i leave my drive way... and BTW, can our cars run on E85, one of the head mechanics at my work said it should since the Camry's can, ("if they have green or blue fuel injetors there shouldnt be any problem, and its a '07 so the fuel system should handle the ethanol since they have 10-15% in regualr gas anyhow")
