For the most part I think thats it... there are other things like alignments, and just tiny things here and there but i think that might be the most of it

Total of that - $13,487... and now I feel sick... thanks

btw... that doesn't include anything for the white car... i've have really gotta start saving money when i get another job

edit... oh yeah... CBD door sills inner and outer, and CBD fuse box cover... and a p-werks srt radiator cover thing... - $390 which brings the new total of $13,877

LOL, I was waiting for this. I thought you liked spending money though? You buy really good stuff, thats why its so damn expensive.

Blue underbody- $150. Now off the car being sold to a friend for 75.
AEM CAI- $200.
OMG!!!! $350!!!!!! I feel sick. I stopped before I made the mistake of modding my ATX.
NGC>me.

Kevin... yeah I know... thats only b/c I didn't want to have to rip anything off to replace it again to spend more money in the end doing it 3x to make it right. I'd rather do it right the first time instead of skimping money and having to spend more money trying to fix the ghetto crap.

Too damn much.

Why spend $23k on an new srt-4...when you can make one cheaper?

^^^good point on the srt4 swap, i feel the exact same way. I have one question though.. why did you pay someone to install a CAI?

Well, I don't have an impressive list like others. I bought the car new in Dec. I do have a wife, house, and 2 kids, so my "hobby money" is real limited. Here's my tiny list thus far:

Alpine HU: $120
CAI piping: 25
S&B Filter: 25
Front Strut Brace: 35
Fram Sure Drain: 12
Heat Shield Wrap: 6
Tint: 180
Mopar Sunshade 16

Total = a tiny $419

I included shipping prices. Thanks goodness I reused all my previous stereo equipment.

I was really busy when I got it and wanted someone to install it who knew what he was doing. Easier for me, but I paid for it. Oh well

Total cost of Mods Only: $240

I guess having to fill it up 2x a week and change the oil at least once a month (not to mention the $244.30 payment) is keeping my bank account low enough that I don't consider any serious mods.

Me and a buddy were talking about this today so figured I'd revive this one.


Bought the car new and paid the taxes and fees to have it shipped: So here goes

Right now I've got a deal workin with Diablo for 525 in parts. Plus a deal with Niteshades for another 150. And I want to order about another 1000 in stuff from CBD. AND i want Playboy2k4's lsd's...
