veilside ff gt body kit and veiilside fenders (not a replica): around 3k
Custom Paint and Airbrushing: around 4600
Airrides: around 2k for kit and installation was about 1600
2 sets of Rims: around 1600 each set
Music: around 2500
All other interior mods (lights, Alarm, Tints, etc.) were about 1500-2500
Too much other stuff to list, I think i spent over 20k-25k iamstfu on it in the past year or so.. all worth it, finishing it up now. Couple of new mods being added this year. The pics in my profile shows what i did the first year i bought the car. I havent had time to update it with new pics, looks like a completely diffrent car now. Sounds like a lot of money but once you start modding its hard to stop. I just wanted tints and look at all I ended up spending. grin

my ecelica decal was free tongue

see your list looks long... but most of that was cheapy stuff...

i've got quite a bit on my car for $5000... but i don't feel like listing it all... just having my car molded tacked on $1000... (but that's really cheap for the work it took to mold my car)

the bargain you got was your wheels and tires... $500 for 18"? that's a REALLY good deal!
