haha, it looks really sick now but not much of a budget build to me..
you're gunna go with the expensive route for lowering with coils, which is not budget.
And the rims you have are pretty respectable in the CL community. These two alone are probably more than what half the people here have spent on their cars.
what else more is there to do.. You already changed intake, custom pipes, custom led, 8k fogs and lows. And this is only 'temporary'.
It looks really sick but not a budget build =]

I'm pretty confident he is comparing this build to the last over the top is350 build. So yes I would have to say this is a very budget friendly in respects to his previous one.

Wheels and coil over doesn't sound like it's budget friendly. But your car does look hella nice now.

Next thing we'll see for your budget friendly mod will be a BBK.

Looks good! I wonder how long this "budget" build will last. Btw, I still see your old car all the time in a lot in SF.

Well. In comparison with what was originally planned for this build BEFORE the baby popped out. It had turned into what I consider a budget build.

Originally I was planning on airrunners.. Adv.1 wheels.. Branew kit.. Endless bbk.. Which would have been well over $15k. But after reviewing our finances with the new addition. That idea went straight out the window.

Currently with everything that has gone onto the ISC.. I think I have spent less than $2500. And probably not much more to complete the rest. Much of this has to do with partial and full sponsorships I have been fortunate enough to receive. Although it is not my initial vision. I am very happy with how things have come together so far.
