One with 4 wheels
I modded out my old car with so much stuff that when I sold it, it was hardly worth anything.....

For my 06 230, I just ordered a $600 CF lip; and honestly, that's all I think I'm going to get!

wait wait guys, i win this one~ i stop counting at 60k and this is before i re-did my car to look like what it does today. I am guessing it is at like 70-80k, i dont really care to look into it and make myself feel any worse.

ohh yea and i am stopping unless a very nice blower comes along, or I get a maddddd hook up on a 55k engine. its not really that i want to stop but i dont really know what else to buy for the car.

I am trying to sell my modded car. The modding is very addicting. I feel bad for people that spend over 10K plus. Some people claim they put 20K into their car as an investment. Modding a car is a bad investment.
