God your a dick...I just included everything I paid for and put on my car, I never said they were mods.

And I have done my exhaust three times over, and finally got it right.

And I put the prices (more or less) near the parts...add them up.
It comes it just under $7000 and the install on the parts...$1000 for exhaust system, lowering, and pulley,
$250 for shocks/struts, $200 for chip and tune, 100 for sound system...also the accidents (2 of them) that my insurance wouldn't cover, I had to pay for which included a new front bumper, 2 rims, side skirt, steering knuckle, and a arm...

And people getting what they put it into any car is slim. I knew that when I first started modding cars. You still like to try though...No harm in starting your price high and working down.

...also any work done in South Florida is a bitch on prices. [:@]
