how much have you spent on mods so far?
Curious to see how much everyone has spent on their mods so far and also thought this could be useful for newer guys to see how much (ballpark) things should cost before they buy. If you're lazy just give a total dollar amount for appearance and total for speed/performance and a grand total. If you want to really help newbies list your mods individually with cost (split item vs. installation) You don't need to put the brands, hopefully they are already in your sig!
I'll go first:
Performance:
Appearance
Grand Total August 2003 -> March 2004 = $ 7,560
I'll go first:
Performance:
- Lid $150
- Filter $50
- LT Headers & Catted Y $1300 + $450 inst. = $1,750
- Catback $600 + $100 inst. = $700
- Diablosport Predator Tuner $400
- 3.73 gears $200 + $250 inst= $450
Appearance
- Ground Effects & Spoiler $600 + $500 paint $1,100
- Hood $600 + $500 paint $1,100
- Tint $ 140
- Wheel/Tire Package $1,300
- Hockey Sticks decals $ 140
- Grille $ 130
- Clear Corners / Side markers $ 100
- Headlight covers $ 50
Grand Total August 2003 -> March 2004 = $ 7,560

My bill from Thunder Racing last year was more than I paid for the car. That doesn't even include my purchases from Futral, MadMan, LG, Nitro Dave, Raging, or SJM.
The only original piece of my suspension is the stock rear springs.
The only original piece of the driveline is a few pieces of the tranny.
And I drove the car to work today. Ahh, what fun.

Well, I keep changing my mind so right now I am probably around 18k. Brian buys me parts on holiday's and I get some awesome deals on certain parts so that helps out alot. I figure once I am finished with the turbo, motor and everything else, I will have close to 30k in mods alone (not including the car).... but I don't want to really start adding up things now.
