But... it has been fun.

That's the way I look at. Yeah, it's an expensive passion, but it is fun. And for those of us that do some of the work ourselves, it is a huge source of pride and self-satisfaction. Can't put a price on those.

I' stopped adding up at $9860.

I've put 10K into mine. It's the most expensive hobby I've ever had and it's by far the most rewarding too.

Ron · 03-20-2012, 01:10 AM

ouch!

nismochiq · 03-20-2012, 02:28 AM

about $2700 I put the mods on myself. about to install my rear speakers, little mod but I like it.

memorylasts · 03-20-2012, 02:53 AM

Nismodean · 03-20-2012, 05:23 AM

ClemsonWill · 03-20-2012, 02:41 PM

LunaZ · 03-20-2012, 02:52 PM

My photography expenditures have just surpassed Z mods LOL!

I would been over thirdy if it wasnt for me doing all my own work. I could only imagine what it's been with all the maintenance and tracks days I've put in. Come next week I'll have over thirdy. A lot of goodies that are going to be ordered. So be watching out. I still have some things sitting in the shop I need to install.

Do I remember seeing you post that you will be at ZDAYZ?? If so I look forward to seeing what you have done with your Z

I too have done ALL the work on my car myself and will continue to do so. Only thing I have paid for is obviously the tune. If I paid for all my installs I would def be over 10k. Part of the reason that I love modding is doing it myself. Uber satisfying to do your own wrenching and then drive and feel the finished product.
