Exclamation How much money have YOU spend on your MOD addiction?

So this is just a thread to see what all you have done and spent Grand Total! I will go first!
___________________________________

This is my estimates: (labor include in some!)

Safari Bar: $210
Driving Lights: $75
Head Lights(black): $175
Head Light HIDs: $75
Fog lights HIDs: $75
Lighting(LEDs and such): $50
Custom Paint(outside): $200
Custom Paint(inside): $200
Harley F250 Flames: $150 (**** good deal friend owns the shop)
Audio system: $500
Head Liner: $50
Alarm and Remote start: $600 (**** good deal friend owns the shop)
Billet Grill: $40
Wing: $50
Cold Air: $125
Exhaust: $250
Headers: $900 (all said and done)
20" Rims: $1000 (all said and done)

As Of 4/16/08 a Grand total of: $2,025

As Of now 11/11/08 a Grand total of: $4,725 :navajo:

So in littler of half a year my grand total little over dubbed! The bigest things missing now is to lower it 2" once its sitting on the 20"'s and I need to get a programmer! Then I'm done but I have said that before!

Here is a more resent picture:

sorry, i dont have a mod addiction. havent made the first step yet. really dont think id like to know once i have made it to a point where i can start fixin one up. might scare me. i know in the year that i had that daycab pete, engine, injectors, wheel seals and bearings in all, maybe around 30,000. scary thing is that truck was bought for around the same price.

Once i get my supercharger on were gonna be creapping nearer 10k since i bought the truck in 04. i`m kinda trying to find a wrecked unit similar to mine with the same drivetrain for spares so that could increase that substantially... I try to avoid admitting actuall costs...cause its pretty outragous!

not really mods, but if i added up the cost of the repairs, i'd probably cry.

my only mods are:
exhaust ~$300
tires/rims~$1100
tool box~$300
moon visor~$100
tube steps~don't remember
and bed liner~$75

And 75K30 takes the cake with the mods! And the 10 year old asking for the ride, perfect touch bud.... perfect.... lol.


Well, the current ride only has a few bucks in it, if I added up the actual cost of all the motors that have gone in it, I would be touching 4k myself. But the ride I dumped the most in was my 1990 Honda Crx.... but I don't think I need to list those, unless y'all really wanna know how sad it was...lol
