no, car not included...I did this total adding up some not seen yet mods that are paid for but in the process of being placed in the car.

Rmm kit- 2500.00 painted
roof spoiler-180 panited
wingwest-350 painted
tint-350
Borla-550 installed
swapped hid's headlights and fogs-500.00
jp tails- 1250
Gettins & Donz w/ tires- 7300.00
Teins- 1500.00 installed
interior swap w/ granite 6k
custom trunk with all ice- 4k
Brakes/spacers-4800.00
engine project in works- 12k
headlight retro-1400.00
underbody led's and inside/ engine led's- 700.00 installed
original engine parts that wil be sold but right now are in 1k

i'm missing small details but i'm sure if we all add up some of the small details we would find that they could pay for some of the major mods we do so give or take i'm around 41-43k in, but like Ken said this car goes to the grave with me...

I am not anywhere close to you (neither do I plan to be), yet I want to take my car to the grave with me too!

Yeh.... i couldnt spend 10-15-20k on a car i dont even own.

Crazy too me.

id rather drive a stock GS that is full paid for then drive a fully modded GS that im making payments on.

But thats just me....

and to contribute... I prob spent 7-8k+ on my old GS .... in the short couple months i owned it.
