    Default How much money in mods?

    How much money have you guys spent on your cars? Any of you guys still keep track? LOL

    Last project I spent $25K in upgrades for my 2000 Prelude over a two year period. $0 so far on my BMW.

    What about you guys?

    check my sig to see how poor I am. I have to regulate my mod spending to 1 item per year.

    1999 - Short intake - Contemporary Motorsports - $150
    2000 - Solo Short shifter - Impressions Auto Design - $140 w/ install
    2001 - Custom cat-back Exhaust w/Magnaflow - Speedville/Calgary Muffler - $460
    2002 - Chikara Torq-step header hopefully. I'm trying to get one now.

    Also little thinks like peddal's and shift knob - $50

    *all costs exclude gst*

    so about $856. My car means the world to me and I'd have rims, suspension, cams + tuning, and all the little dings taken out if I could afford it.
