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.

I have roughly spent about $16000 or more....I dont even feel like typing it all up, right now the car has about $10000 worth of the parts in it, alot of the other stuff has been swapped out and changed or just sold.

way too much money, but at least he's almost done

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

Damn, some of you guys make me feel like I should've been busier with my car. I've had it exactly one year and one week.

Kenwood MP3 Deck $175
Pioneer 6x9's $FREE (Came installed in other car)
Boogers $20
eBay CAI $45

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.

marakka · Post by **marakka** » Thu May 25, 2006 4:50 pm

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

Car - 14,330 shipped
Clear corners - 30

RD turbo hood - 550 (appx)

I'm lookin at just shy of 20g's. I put 4400 down on the car and I overpay each month. I should pay my 5 year loan off in 3 years so its not so bad. But the fuckin mods are killlin me. 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...
