If you wanna buy interior buy take offs, or people sell theirs online in the classifieds, its a lot cheaper

I could definitely see spending $2k on the interior; my Shaker 500 sounded poor, so I bought a relatively cheap replacement headunit. With iPod & bluetooth it's ~$500. The driver's leather bench seat (oh sorry, "bucket") absolutely sucks for going around corners; I have to slide myself back to the middle of the seat everytime.A pair of Corbeaus with brackets is easily $800. Add in speakers for premium sound, Some damping materials and $2k is fast approaching.

Depending on the quality of the paint job, they can hit $3-4k easy for the whole car.I think fitting the body kit at that point wouldn't be much extra, so $10k is probably $2-3k too high.

I think...and this is my personal opinion...if you put all that on your car you are going to be wanting some performance goodies later on because you'll catch a lot of criticsm from people if you have all show and no go. I'd do the mods evenly, like plan what you want your power to be as far as if you want a supercharger/turbocharger, CAI with tune, gears, engine build, or what because you'll defidently want to add some sort of power adder to your car at some time so why not just do your mods evenly with like an exterior mod, performance mod, interior mod, exterior mod, peformance mod, etc.? You'd have a seriously bad car then and you'd be upgrading the whole car and not just part of it that will hurt other parts. Like adding the body kit will weigh down the car and slow your acceleration...you'll want that acceleration back and then suspension will come. It's a never ending addiction lol. I've made a list of things I want to do to my car to have the "perfect" set up for me and with labor it's over 13k lol but I'm young and have time hahahaha
