How much $$$ have you guys spent on modding your celica? just wondering

$000.00

Nothing, zip, zilch.



I don't even have my license yet, nor a job.

hmmm, let me list:

Bodykit:ordering now, unpainted: 500
c/f Hoodscoup-spoliers, c/f mirrors: 450
all c/f interiro pieces: maybe 200+
Gauges: 120
Neons, shiflight and switches: 80
rmm Intake: 260
Strut bar/RMM cover:80
Carobn fiber exterrior pieces: 80
Exterrior lighting: 150
Grand total:1920

WOW i really dindt know i spent that much already. holy crap!!!! i never actually added it all up before. Wow i must be crazy. and add another liek 600 to have the kit painted, adn possibly 250 for a wing. damn. Learn from me, Dont be like me at all

too much on a crap car

i calculated it to be around 800.00 in 4 months! not bad i think!

About 2 grand

it adds up fast. esp if ur not doing stock look anymore. but hell even look at polykarb, all his stuff you dont see and still adds up quick. its a expensive hobby.

>3 grand

200 - Ultra swade
180 - Tint
10 - LEDs for radio
45 - Power antenna
35 - LEDs for trunk
470 - total & have had it sence Febuary

200 so far, it'll be up to almost 1 grand after the summer.

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 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.

$1500 and i still have a lot to go

The vertical doors & labor alone ran me past $2000...

...I got burned so far $300 from the E-Celica store for non-delievered products

...$200 for tail-lights & bumper lens

...soon $250 for a lighting package.

...LOTS more if I can find who sells the damn Eclipse AVN-5495!!

About 5k and still going...

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!

probably around 3 grand.. its hard to tell since i've gone through quite a few front bumpers and bodykits. as well as wheels. i keep saying im done and try to save up for another car or bike.. but i keep buying stuff for the celi

Oh snap i forgot about the kit. cant wait to see that on bro
