Mod's Cost Too Much!!

Mod's Cost Too Much!!
I have been saving up some side money for a couple weeks now and I had a little over $800 saved for my car. The money was strictly for an exhaust (proabably Fujitsubo), but I convinced myself to at least wait until Spring, when this crappy weather dies down.
So to appease my appetite, I bought some simple mods for my car.
Clear Corners = $55
Clearance and CC LED Lights = $45
Fog Lights = $30
Aluminum Pedal = $85
Splash Guards = $140
Tein Springs = $155
Spring Installation = $150
Alignment = $50
Which leaves a grand total of less than $100 for my exhaust.
Looks like I'm going to have to start over again. :sigh:

Re: Mod's Cost Too Much!!
Exhaust is cool don't get me wrong, but I think there are better things to spend your $ on up front. Pretty crazy spending that kind of coin to get a bit back in hp. I did some appearance things and an Injen to start and that's been good for me for now. All depends on your hierarchy of needs I guess..

Re: Mod's Cost Too Much!!
I've been bitten by the "cheap" mod bug recently. In the last month or so, I got:
K&N filter: $45
7 wire grounding kit: $85
Clear Corners: $62
Wedge bulbs for clear corner & clearance light: $34
Aluminum pedals: $100 (4 pedals)
Genuine nismo license plate frame: $35
They didn't feel like too much money individually, but I guess they add up. I'm probably going to buy some new fog light bulbs to better match the HID headlight. Hopefully that will be the end of the mods...[img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Mod's Cost Too Much!!
Just add an intake on there for another $100-200 and you will be set. I think that the exhaust can come later since you will see HP gains with a new Intake, and handling gains with new springs, with cosmetic appeal with the pedals, clear corners, etc.... Def do that before the exhaust IMO.

Nismo Chrome or Black shift **** (about $50). The matching Titanium one goes for about $140 so I went with Chrome and it looks great. I was thinking about an exhaust as well, but after the Z-tube and Pop Charger, I have plenty of sound. Other cheap stuff I have are Nismo (fake) oil cap for $8 and Nismo (real) radiator cap for $26 and grounding kit $75.

Dr. Jim - you are a doctor for goodness sake. Anesthesiologist make great money. You could have opted for the Titanium shift **** at least! LoL.
Btw, how much did you clear bra cost? Where did you get the hypergrounding kit for so cheap?
