Geeze... now you guys are going force me into making a spreadsheet...

I'll be back with the detailed numbers...

I'm guessing around $5K off the top of my head. Getting ready to dump another $6K all at once for guess what...?

...be back...

I know I consider myself very lightly modded and yet I've spent 345 + 180 + 400 + 70 + 120 + 175 (subframe full welds) = 1290 OMFG !!!!

Comp cams=$500(" ")

75MM T/B...$150-230

For cosmetics...

Mach-1 Chin Spoiler... $100

Smoked headlights...$130-225 or so.

Can't imagine what I'd have spent if I paid for labor

Forgot MM SFC connectors $140. Then shipping those mofos and $100 to have them welded on.

About 12K.

300$ Cobra Hood
5000$ Paint Job

Comes to roughly over 11,000. Also some miscellaneous costs such as IAT relocation, misc labor and parts etc. damn...i shouldnt have added that

around the 5k range
