DURSO, how much were you rims? Those are the same rims I want, but I really can't justify spending $5k on rims alone (no tires).

Hmmm.... $5k on a commuter car or rims... hmmmm??? Tough decision.

S-03 Tires $1000
Nismo S-tune Susp. $2000
Stoptech's $1800
Shorty antenna $50

ohhh that is so wrong mcduck, why are you copying me??? LOL well at least you dont have all Nismo's performance parts like i do.
Ummm... no... actually, I started out as Dr Bonz's evil twin!

As for the Nismo stuff... well... um... the cams will be installed in about two weeks.

meanwhile..mcduck...do you have mods that are not listed in your avatar..because i cant imagine how that is 12 grand
Signature will be updated when new parts are installed. I currently have about $3800+ in engine upgrades that will be installed within the next two weeks. Cost of parts was included in my estimate... cost of labor was not.

Nismo Kit + Paint & install .... $4000
iForged wheels & Potenza SO3s... $3000
CAI............ $250
Tint............ $200
Clear side markers... $50
new engine parts... $3800
Borla Exhaust + install... $900

So, yes... just over $12K prior to my install charges in two weeks. Will be posting pics of my BLING, BLING engine bay when all the parts are in. Then I'll need to look like this when I look under the hood ---->

Let's see, here's all I got so far:
smoked sidemarkers
pearl black license plate frame
Nissan wheel locks

I guess that's only about $70+. I want to get some performance goodies, (ECU first), but I don't really want to poor my money into my car at this point, being a college student and all. I use most of it in my little investment schemes. Hopefully,it'll pay off in a year or so. Since I just got a 240SX, any money I do decide to spend on mods will probably go into that car, since it's a lot cheaper to mod, and the warranty's already up.

Let's see, I', going to hate seeing the final cost.

Tint: 210
Clear Bra: 750
SO3's: 1000
Valientine 1(With remote display):460
Injen CAI:250
Focal Utopia 3way:750

I think that is all, so grand total is 13,350. And when my Volk's come in it will be another grand for SO3's for them. Man I knew I did not want to total all this up.

Hmmmmm.......

K&N filter - $45
Z license plate frame - $45
Total - $90

Acually those were both presents from my X - girlfriend before she cheated on me, lol.

I spent $0 on this car
I keep it clean though.

I'm always tempted to waste money, but I learned my lesson from my 300zx, which I dumped over $10K into, what a waste
