I have a whole document on MS Word in which I write every mod I have. The list grows basically every week. I kinda did an estimate on all the items I bought since I owned my car over the past 2 years. So far ive spent $6750 on mods (and labor on some of them). add another $175 to the total when i get my tints done next week
