(haven't had one of these in awhile) How much have you spent on mods for your car?

[MustangEater8251]

I don't consider Zaino a mod.. but I paid a significant amount for it, and if I didn't have my f-body and had a beater cash car like I was planning, I woudln't have had it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well when I meant money I meant pretty much money invested into there car other then the car itself.

I was looking at overall money put into a car. I don't think zaino is a mod, I don't think its cool to have a long list of mods. Frankly the shorter the list of mods I have the happier I when I produce a decent time.

Someone who runs like a 14.8 with $800 is more impressive to me then a guy that runs a 14.7 with. $4500. I am not impressed by how much money people spend or how much bling they have. Just more impressed with the results.

I posted tires, because well I could have kept the stocker size but I upgraded ot a bigger size, and once again a significant cost.

[95Batmobile]

if you can list LCAs or whatever, you shold be able to list tires.

Yes, tires are needed, but you don't need some nice Pirellis or BFGs.. you could get some sh*tty ones for cheap.

Upgraded traction & handling via tires is definately a modification to me.

[BLLDOGG]

tires you got specificly for better traction and handling to me is a mod.

[GhostRunner]

Errr... I bought my car with a bunch of stuff done to it already, so I could either say I spent $0 on all my mods, or I could say I have $15,000 worth of mods since that was how much the car cost me. As for everything I've got...:

Flowmaster 80 series muffler w/ chrome tips
SLP ram air
SLP strut tower brace
"Free" cold air mod.
descreened maf (Which will cost me money later when I buy a screen and put it back on)
17x9.5 10 spoke SS wheels + tires (Cooper Cobra ZHP 01's front/ Kumho 712's rear.)
Unknown LCA's (black, with yellow polyurathane bushings)
Unknown Adjustable panhard bar, looks like an SLP part. (black too)
K&N air filter
Accel 8mm wires
Unknown springs, with take off shocks from an SS (the springs are red if that helps)
Centerforce D/F clutch.

Pioneer head unit, cheap looking, probably one of their $120 units from 2001.

Pioneer speakers, four of which aren't hooked up, I'd have done that but I can't wire worth crap.

American Pro or Pro American amp, it's crome and says "Limited Edition" on it somewhere. Also glows a neat blue color from inside it, it's got a neat little view glass that you can see the circut boards from.

There's other stuff, and I know there's stuff I've missed since this was just off the top of my head.

Guess as to how much all this cost? Probably 3K?

I guess also I'll have to change my sig...
