Life is full of choices, have fun making yours.
Sounds like you're going to be borrowing funds to do this though which is never good for modding as it's just about one of the most worst things to spend on, financially speaking due to the negative impact on the value of the car/parts concerned - weird but true.....

I have no bills living at home, get free food, make good $ working for parents, and then golf brings in some more $ from playing with friends and having friends at golf courses that like to play like a dollar a hole or something lol.
