How much have you spent on Mods?
Did you stick with a pre-determined budget or end up spending more than you planned to?

I did a lot of archive searches on the forums....PM'd a number of the guys who had certain mods that I was interested in buying....talked to four tuners...and followed the recommendations posted here and on other forums. Basically the recurrent suggestion was to decide what I wanted to do with the car first...then tailor my mods to meet the driving requirements I had set for myself...which included a HP threshold. I realize that HP thresholds are like the sound barrier...meant to be broken...but so far, I've stuck with the plan.

Hell just 19" tires are almost 2,000 on this car

I will say ity has gotten much cheaper recently since a flash is no longer $3,000

keeps on going, for my own sanity I stopped counting in the 20's. Then there are those little unexpected curve *****--2,400 to replace one new rear tire and rim after a large bolt was driven into a new 19" tire and mono-block destroying both.
