I have spent over 2000 on mods, all the work done was by me. [ 03-31-2003, 01:29 PM: Message edited by: SpiderManGT ]

Otherwise, I had to pay for everything else. Lucky my step-bro is a mechanic. But he recently moved. Now I fork over real money for real work

SuperCharged Member 2000 Toyota Celica Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 151 Orange County, Ca	My guess is I spent around $500 on the car so far. I got it in December. Limo tint on all windows - $145 Super Blue Xenon Headlights - $20 Super Blue Front Blinkers - $10 Clear side markers w/ blue bulbs - $25 Iridium spark plugs, along w/ a tune-up $71 Cold-Air Intake - $80 (eBay) Radar Detector - $68 (Yahoo Auctions - bought it way before I had a Celica) Spray paint & primer - $9 (Metallic Red center console) TRD chrome license plate frame - $30 TRD die-cut decals - $5 (set of 2) Coming soon... SpringTech Coilovers Strut tower bars/sway bars TRD exhaust Headers w/ exhaust manifold Jet speed chip 16" silver or white rims with Falken Ziex tires Sometime in the future... Blitz Supercharger Kit Lamborghini Door Conversion A body kit of some sort... I'm not too big on bodykits. I think most of them look too big & too "All show, no go". Besides, they're extra weight. Absolutely Red awesome canyon road hugger with impressive straight-line acceleration.
