There is one question that always bothers me a little, though I answer it with a smile, and that is "How much did it cost", or "how much did the {insert mod here} set you back". It's a perfectly normal question I suppose, I just kinda feel like it's maybe a little "invasive" and too personal. It's almost like being asked "what's your annual income" by a perfect stranger.

You guys think I'm being oversensitive? If not, how's the best way to answer this question without sounding rude? I don't want to give the import enthusiast a bad name by being arrogant or anything, but I get tired of having to provide a "financial account" of my mods to every stranger who asks.

Sorry if this sounds petty to anyone.

Hey man. Yes, it's the Vizage bumper. I got it from www.rollincarcustoms.com. They sell it for $500.

My car is a customer feature car there, too:

Bwwaaahaaaa...I saw that a few weeks ago. I was like hey, look at that, that's my car (in yellow!). He's just missing the snail. I'll be shocked if that thing sells for the asking price.

44K is alot, especially when there's nothing special under the hood. I bet you that price can be drop down to 35K after some bargining.

So how much would you sell yours for? 40K including snow chains?

Once you think of it as a mod, you can't go wrong:

I too love your ride but I must inquire more on the turbo... I'm turboing my Z in about a year or so. I want to make sure I don't have a lemon first. lol
I would love to see more engine bay pics. The turbo set up keeping the stock exhaust manifolds is crazy... I would love to see a little more.
This is the turbo set up I leaning towards. How is it for daily driving? A T3/04 is a GOOD size turbo so I wonder about the lag? When does she start to spool?
