Wheels and tires 1700
Muffler delete 130
Tune 800
Front pipe over pipe around 500

Shift knob 80

Grimmspeed parts around 200 (probably a little more, license plate kit, battery tie down, oil cap, mastercylender brace, hood struts.)

I'm about $14k in and no FI. That's including some deep discounts on parts too. I keep an excel file with all my purchases and I have a few folders full of receipts. I figure another $15k and I'll be done modding.

The good news is that the car is paid for.

If you have a solid income, manageable debt, and adequate savings, knock yourself out. If you're blowing the rent money, grocery money or adding significantly to your debt...yeah...that would be stupid...

I need to get myself into a debt free situation. Student loans, why do you rape me so much every month!
