Default Wouch!

So I'm about to drop the hammer on a white V6 Coupe, and wanted to make some changes. The following is what I got back from the dealership:

3D Carbon Boy racer 5-piece body kit - $4600 painted/installed
TruFiber Venom hood - $1300 painted/installed
Center-mount fog lights - $550 installed
Paint-on-vinyl Kona blue 10-inch stripes - $1300

I'm going to order some rims from AM and put them on 245/45R19 Pirelli P Zeros:

Finally, I'm going to lower the car with the FRPP N-springs, and put on a panhard rod to correct the rear end shift. ($350)

And if I win the mega millions, I'll change from a V6 to a GT.

If i hit the mega millions, it's a new shelby 1000 and a GT350, along with a plethora of exotics, a M5 sedan for family moments, and a honker of a truck (And I don't do trucks..)...

GT who?

First of all why would you want to buy a "V6" and put all that extra money into it? Second, you can get the 3D Carbon Boy racer 5-piece body kit for $648.52 on CJ pony parts and I know paint and install is not an extra $4000.

I want the V6 because it's a cheaper base car, it gets better mileage, and I don't really need/want the V8. To add insult to injury, it's got - GAK! - an automatic transmission.

Actually, that's not the 5-piece kit - the five-piece kit is $721, and they appear to have free shipping, but without going through the entire p[urchase process, I can't be sure.

Still, the dealer has the 5-piece kit in stock (saves shipping time), and it's already painted the right color (saves painting time), so unless they use it before I get my car on/near May 01, I'm gonna go with it (their price includes the kit, shipping, paint, and install). Otherwise, I'll get it at CJ's, and see if they can't drop-ship it to the dealer. It's more a matter of convenience than anything else. They also want $3000 for 20-inch wheels/tires, but I'm gonna go with 19's and spend less than $1700.
