Nice to see my thread still coming alive after all this time.

I stopped counting the amount of cash I've spent after awhile, I'm sure that I'm well over 12k. That's around 30k including the purchase price of my car. If I had to do it all over again, I would probably have the same mods.

I don't post many pics of my car so heres one:

Spent over $5k!!!

Most of the money went in repairs but at least I got the chance to lower and put some wheels on my car.

^^ wow that's quite a bit...

The last time I posted in this thread I capped off around 8k in mods...

Now I just hit 13k and I'm not even done yet.

so much for stopping at 15k...
