I'm not rich by any means. I can't get another car. I'm stuck with my 2005 V6 for many more years to come.
And...for that person who asked. Its for ways to stop modding my car and to keep on.
To be honest, I feel like a douchebag who is bragging. But thats not my aim. This is the story which lead me to post...
I'm about to buy Shelby CS6 side scoops and the Fang Chin Spoiler for my V6. But after that, I'm done with exterior mods as far as I'm concerned. I really thought about it, and I wouldn't get anything else. Then it made me think of what else I'd do, and I already did a supercharger, whole new exhaust (even went the extra mile with longtubes and stingers), billet interior, leather seat upgrade, two-tone, and even already have an upgraded sound system with two 12's. I also even did new tires and rims. Put in gears, t-lok, driveshaft....Hell, I have sequentials too. Even replaced the turning signals.
So, my friend was with me while I was pondering this and said I should wait on the chin spoiler and side scoops. He said if I get them both at once, then I'll end up replacing parts just for the hell of it or something. (only reason I wanna get them both at once is because the paintshop will give me a discount if I paint them both at once). Which, I don't think will happen....but everytime I get something, I always say, "After this, I'm done." but it never ends...until now I think.
Anyways...just want to let you guys know I'm not trying to brag, its a seriously, genuine post about the subject at hand.
