19 Days and Counting~

Well after owning my car for 17 months and spending quite a bit of money on mods I have decided that October is the month that I spend zero $ on the car. This mod thing is kind of an addiction and I am really trying to prove to myself that I can do it.

P.S. I wonder how Doug's 91 Race tune would feel in the car? It's only a 100 bucks!

That's funny. I could never make it! I would have to buy something for my car to cope with the stress!

I am going to the auto body shop tomorrow to see how much stripes are going to cost. I bet if the cost is reasonable that Rich won't be able to last the month!

I can't believe you're doing that to your car- it wants the mods! How selfish of you to deprive it.......oh the humanity!!

I have that addiction as well.... my last car I spent 18k just in performance parts (no bodykits or silly crap).. and it took 2.5years to recover.

I just started again and I can feel the addiction coming on.

Went by the body shop and they want roughly $3,000 to paint the stripes. That includes removing the front and back windows and bumpers and spraying clear with block sanding to remove ridges. So, I think Rich will be able to hold out! I'd be spending more money right now if the CDC classic chin spoilers weren't out of stock.

Thats a whole lot of "go fast" for 3k.....

I'll pass on stripes, and I WANTED them at one time too.

California is crazy high for painting stripes. I had several people give me guessimates and the lowest one was $2500.

Almost bought a six pack of oil today but held out!

I wonder if it is worth it to go to Nevada to get stripes painted. Anyone in Nevada know the price?
