Default GOD HELP ME! This runs WAY too high!

So my new 'ideal' car's budget is too high =( It sucks! Here is a sence of what Im looking at.
(Only visual upgrades)

Used 06 GT - $20,000
Cervini's C-Series - $10,000
New rims (Konig) - $1,500
Interior upgrade - $2,000

$33,500!!

God damn it.

welcome to the S197 mustang. impossible to leave them stock.

with that 13,000 you spent you could have went with a built 281, blower, tko, built rear, suspension, wheels... instead of 2000 on interior junk, and a body kit.

Ya, $2k in interior upgrades is crazy... put that into performance...

Also, take it slow and it won't be so bad... if you do it all upfront, then you will have nothing to work on.

Everything man. The car's interior SUCKS to begin with and I need new inside door panels and a few other parts. I just slapped a crazy price tag on it because it's so aweful atm. It makes up for the few thousand that Ill prolly end up needing to finish installing the kit anyway =P



UGLIEST **** ever.

Going for a White, black stripes, red/white interior, red break pads =)

10k on a body kit and no performance mods.....
So you are basically taking a GT and making it slower by trying to make it look faster.
I don't get it.

Im going to mobile dynamics course in a few years and Ill spend my time learning how to install those things. Yeah, I could put off the body kit too but I feel I would actually enjoy working under the hood a lot. Something Ive wanted to do for a little.
