whoa u would never have known that you spent 10k. Car just looks like it has a drop with an exhaust with some ICE.

did you pay full price for everythign and full price on install? cause I dont know how all those parts became 10k.

Car looks clean though!

woah... for $3500 you should have been able to replace all the interior speakers and prolly add a 4 channel amp as well, ok maybe not a 4 channel... with that double din
wait, and why $250 in sirius? is your sirius not running through the head unit? recievers are like $100 maybe $150...

Man for 10k you could have gone full csl add ons(2k?), differential(1400), wheels(3k?), short shifter(500?) and coilovers(2k?). Those are all slight over estimates on the higher side I would say. Add labor and you're right around 10k.

yea i feel i kind of got ripped off on the double din! First time the installer did it there was a problem so he had to send in the unit.

But its ok...im happy. im hoping to do the csl soon!

$10k? woah.

That sounds like a lot of money for not much. Sure isn't how I would've spent $10k but all what matters is that you are happy

wow, that does not look like $10k in modding.........at all

vehicle. Looks a little understated for spending $10k in my opinion (but I surely understand how quickly the money for parts and labor to install can add up). Just being honest.

The shop you show your car jacked up the owner is not a very nice guy. I took my car there one time I asked him some questions about installing a header, and he was pretty rude. I just left the his the shop. I did notice he had a whole bunch of nice cars there. This is the shop on Sepulveda near Santa Monica BLVD right?
