Re: How much have you spent modding?

$1.16 for air freshner which I threw out cause I couldn't smell the leather anymore. Does tint count? As far as my other car I put in 35k of extras. Hmmm what could I have done with 35k in my G35?

Re: How much have you spent modding?

I'm guessing I've added 30hp for about $875: a ratio of 29 bucks a pony. At 25 hp it's still just $35/1hp

Re: How much have you spent modding?

Yeh I bought a good $1500/worth of stuff before I even had my car delivered not planning on doing anything to the engine, i compleetely [censored] up my audi by chipping it and adding minor things so im scared to screw this thing up for the last 6 months i had that car it was a nightmare. Might grab a body kit and some chrome 18-19"

Re: How much have you spent modding?

$300 for a Z-Tube, Pop Charger, and used coup mid-pipe. I de-badged the car and installed all the parts myself.

Autovation pedals were a Christmas present.

I won’t count window tint.

Re: How much have you spent modding?

Wow, some of you make me feel a little better....

I've got about 15K in my G, but that includes buying a 2nd engine, forged rods and pistons. I dropped 10+K cash in it in three weeks when it was at Crawford Z. Basically, I spent 10+K to blow up my stock motor so I could spend more money to buy a new engine.
