Car - $31,000 off the dealer lot on 11/14/04... I paid to cost to be one of the first...
Mods - Somewhere between $18,000-20,000... I didn't start getting my sweet discounts until I was about $15,000 into my mods

I think I win, and Cali HP and Slowfoot both have me beat in the power department!

I have to say that you could never put a price on the knowledge, friends, compliments, passion, and overall great feelings that I've got from this car!

 

Alright I'll play:

$31k shipped to Germany
$4275 Aesthetics
$5639 Performance
~$41k Total
Probably close to $1k in mods shipping charges. And nowhere close to being done...D@mn, I'm never selling... Heck, I was never planning on selling anyway.

 

Haven't even taken delivery of my 07 GT/CS yet and have spent about $9k (UK to USD converted price) in mods ready to fit to it!

NONE of those are performance mods yet either! All on suspension, wheels, brakes and some minor styling stuff.

 

Vert owner/addict here...... a little over $31k OTD (x-plan) and about $5k in appearance & performance mods. No SC, turbo, or NOS yet---maybe NOS this summer? Next mods (wife approved) are CDC classic chin spoiler and headlight splitters painted to match.

 

Hey Grapny, Rather than put another $6K into your stang, give it to me so I can finish my F-100.

 

Me...

$24500 for the car (AQHA discount plus dealer screw up discount)
$6500 in mods (roughly)

 

does it really matter how much$$$ goes into the car just as long as it makes you happy and i am a very happy guy..

 

Don't feel so bad I got my car for 33k out the door

 

25k for the car and about 21k in the car in mods which includes labor if there was any like painting. mechanical things i did myself to save $$

I'm starting to feel like a cheapskate!

 

to my credit 10k of the 21k in mods was just the blower and 9" rear/driveshaft/gears/diff combo

 

I'm afraid to add it up but anyone else can if they want to.

The blower with JDM Stage II and fuel system alone were $7,000
Paint was another $1,500
Having the gears done twice was $600
Installing the clutch twice was $600
All other labor was done by myself

OK that's just crazy Don, but I understand your situation with having to build a new motor and I would've done the same thing. Great list of mods- really incredible!

 

Is there a 12 step program for modders?



I'm happy to see that there are plenty of people that have spent more than me.

 

Lets see...if I do in the wife and collect the insurance... No.. I'd get nailed. If I were to rob a bank...No.. I can't steal. Maybe I could win the lottery. No... give me a 50/50 chance and I will lose every time. Okay, here's a deal for you Don W. When your ready to upgrade I'll by your 05 for 10 cents on the dollar. Deal???
Scott

 

Is there a 12 step program for modders?....... No only two step ! Death or Wife taking cars in divorce!. .......and the last ones only temporary!!

 

Don't even want to think about it. Besides you only live once and Mustang Mods are fun !!! Just call me lol
