Ive tried to be practical to date, and bought my intake and exhausts used off of ebay, and the l-tuned kit I got at a discount given it was of the last kits....all to the tune of about $900. next up is a fresh coat of paint which I know will set me back a few thousand, probably more if I try to get the clear bra. still shopping for some quality used coilovers and then some decent priced wheels which I'll go through D2 eventually to get....hoping to keep it all under $5k-$6k...but we'll see how that pans out

I am not above $40k but I am still afraid to find out.

Actually, I do know but I still don't want to know, if you know what I mean.

This is why the car will be with me for a long time.

That makes more sense. I was like damn, Jeff only spend that much for his two hooked up GS?

And yes, we are all (at least me) still anticipating the "release" of the monster, as I am sure you are too.

I'm not going to add it all up, but I know I'm in the top box.

We've had prior threads every year pretty much (including this one on this same subject), I just keep clicking the next box upward every time

maybe this should be another poll, but how many of you bought your car brand new vs used/cpo and then put the mods.
25K CPO + 20K mods = 45K total investment
50K New + 20K mods = TOTALLY INSANE!!!
