How much $$$ spent on modifying your ride?
I was just wondering how much money you guys have spent on modifying your rides.
Here are my details (All numbers are approximate. Prices include installation when applicable.):
$2000 - OEM body kit and rear wing spoiler.
$600 - Exhaust.
$325 - Sway bars.
$500 - Neon lights.
$175 - Fogs and high beam.
$90 - Polargs.
$600 - Other stuff (tinting, pedals, "Type-S" emblems, clear lens replacement LED, licence plate frames, etc.)
My Approximate TOTAL: $4290.

tell them the engine mods increase gas mileage . And I guess the body kit will make it more aerodynamic right? springs to make the car handle better. Just have to use your imagination!

humm... about 12500$CAN

that's including the wheels/suspension/exhaust/new tires that will go on the car very soon (on order)
will be around 10k USD when i get my bumpers and kit painted (fucking winter
)
that's not including detailing stuff and 2 sets of winter tires and all the servicing fees.. that would bring it to like 12k :wow: i think i'll stop there it's more than enough for me!!
