WOW, this car has been a money pit, and it's still broke and not done. I've spent all this money since 2002 and I don't even get to drive it for more than a2 weeks every 6 months, haha. Yeah, I feel like crying. >biggrin.gif>

EDIT: Grand total is...$11,037 for just mods...car was $7,000 flat. It could be more, but I just rounded prices to the closest number and didn't include a few things I might've forgotten. And to think that the car for me is pretty much stock...I really don't see the money there. That's not counting the price for the TRD wing and SSIII splitters...and the paint and bodywork involved plus the engine rebuild and setup when the time comes in 2006. This is really overwhelming. >frown.gif>
