^Hahaha. Yeah I tell my woman it's around 6-7 total, because until now I hadn't totaled it all up. I doubt she'd be happy if she knew!

Yeah, but at least we're not paying for a new car for the next 12 years.
I'd like maintenance to not be included (If something needed to be replaced, it's not maintenance, in this conext). Just what it would cost someone to built a car exactly like yours, assuming they got the same deals on the car, and stuff.

Ya haha, I tell my wife my swap cost 2500. When in actual fact after the price of the car, being a noob car guy I paid everybody else to do it. So, with labour about 12-13000. But that's with 2 swaps, so as it sits, maybe 11,500.

Wow im just flipping out how cheap things are at your folks area, sucks living in Hawaii but anyway I spent around 4K on my RS that I crashed in my signature.. As for my GS I plan on spending just as much to make it look the same as my RS plus I have put about $1000.00 to get it running right..

I'm way too lazy to retype the details, but their listed on my cardomain page :http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2986436/7

There's quite a few things to add to it, but the total is roughly $4265, and that's with the deals I got on most parts. If I would have just paid regular prices, it would have been roughly $11,599. This helps when I show my wife just how much I could have spent...even though she still says she's still gonna ban me from Internet shopping if I spend too much more... :shrug:
