Interesting question... that said, can you tally up everything and list how much the whole shebang cost you from day one? I'm wondering what the full layout was from post #1 to now.

Saw your car at the Orange Circle back in November-- pictures don't do it justice. The car is stunning in person. Awesome job.

Honestly, I do not even want to add up since alot of the costs cannot be accounted for such as swapping out parts and losing money. Heck, one of my fogs that I bought off eBay is broken and still held together by a bunch of epoxy. Since it fits in there and the fogs are non-functional, I am not going to bother replacing it.

One crap after another. She is scheduled to go back to Shine/Seven Apple next month to get touched up and possibly some fender work to clear some spacers that I am getting.

Someone scraped against my car in the parking lot at work and it went through the base coat on the quarterpanel and the bumper.
