Just bought a silver 2002 Celica GT-S (automatic, yeah I know, boring) in near immaculate condition with 41,000 miles. Some millionaire died and the dealership bought it from his estate in near pristine condition; the only thing that needs replacing is the struts for the hatchback. The dealer needs another week to get the car ready; changing all fluids, emissions check and paperwork.

Anyway, I'm planning on replacing things as soon as I get the keys next weekend. First on my mind is the stereo, the speakers, and installing a rear-view camera. Since I'm new, I'm requesting suggestions of stuff you recommend. Please note that I'm on a budget; I can't buy a $700 stereo and etc, and truth be told, I'm new to cars because I'm from New York City; bought my first car (2006 Acura TSX) 8 months ago. Please forgive my inexperience. I do plan to keep this car for the rest of my life.

So far, the gear I'm CURRENTLY looking at is:

Boss Audio BV755B (this particular one does not come with camera)
JPP Embedded Rear-View Camera
Kicker 43DSC6504 6 1/2" speakers

I want to replace the radio antenna, but not sure which to get. Additionally, I'm interested in putting a screen in the aux compartment above the stereo, but I'm not sure of its dimensions. Lastly (for now), I'm interested in getting a wood dash kit; I loved it in my Acura and want to replicate that for the Celica; please recommend a good kit.

Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all very much for your time!
