Have you spent more than me on your CL?

Ok so I tallied up how much I spent on my CL using a few reciepts and costs that I know off my head...this are rounded costs and installed prices (if they were not installed by me)





$4080

I still am planning to get Comptech headers, exhaust, and UR pulleys....

don't ever add up the total of what you put into the car. Especailly if your wife is around

I've got about $60 into my 6spd. A-cl.com stickers (gotta have stickers) and all weather floor mats...

Quite a few... Mantis23 has you beat in just suspension and wheels, AstroBoy, god knows how much he spent on his TL, and I'm sure others have spent as much or more as wheel

Even though its a TL, I would say AstroBoy's ride had the most spent on it. 4PumpedCL had to have some money tied up in suspension too

Forgot about him. Like I said, many have more than that tied up in their rides already. niz181 and ShawnS also have spent more than that I believe as well.

you need to be asking the guys who have added the supercharger, and the two with the custom turbos on them.

It’s actually OLD, not new. I used that one many years ago.
Yes, it’s a bit NWS. I’ll swap it back tomorrow.
I guess I shouldn’t be setting a bad example.

I remembered a bouncing manga/anime avatar but I didn't think it was yours...I always thought you had something with the blue blinger on there...or something to do with your previous red CL... I still like it though!

So you could do an audio install for some money?

I haven't spent much cause I have to spend 5400 a year to insure my car.
