How do you guys pay for all of your mods? Any of you finance, or just pay for everything at once? I noticed some of you guys have HUGE mod lists, i'm guessing you either have great jobs or you finance alot.

I buy lots of small things over time, then use tax return or save up for the more expensive stuff.

I've been buying too much lately. I've been trying to bring myself to buy like one part a month, but I just cant do it, I always see something new that I need to have heh. Just baught a RAI but I also want rear window louvers and lowering springs, argh! And then I intend to get my spoiler taken off and have the holes filled/repainted. Man this car is a money pit.

I need help, is there a Mustang Modders Anonymous group i can join?

Please don't finance mods. Spend expendable money on your toys.

I save, and save, then when I have enough, I save again for damn shipping

i work on the oilrigs up here.. but for the amount i make, i seem to finance everything, and spend the money i earn on gas, nitrous fills, food, entertainment, and bills...

like ive spent about 2500 on gas in the last two months, and 500 in nitrous alone

I pay cash, or only charge it when I know I have the cash coming to pay it (tax return, etc.) Maybe that's why my mod list is so short

That is what my CC is for. Buy stuff pay it off, buy stuff, pay if off. Been doing that for a few years.

I use C.C. to rack up A.A. advantage miles. But I pay the bill in full every month.

I pay cash for mine. But my list is short because that is pretty much what I want to do to it. Well, I would like to supercharge it, but that's way too $$$. Plus, what you put into it you will not get out of it when you sell. Putting a $5000 blower on your car does not increase the value $5000.

I work to the death to pay for mods on my car.
Plus sometimes I have to pay my mechanic to do work on my car
for me because I sometimes I don't have time to do it myself.

i have a credit card dedicated to car parts and tools. very high limit and i pay a lot on it every month. i used my tax return on my LCAs and a 60gb ipod video.

i actually spend more on tools than i do on car parts. eventually you hit a wall with modding your car, with tools it never ends, cause you know you always need the 1/4" drive metric impact swivel deep 12pt socket set

I charge it on my credit card and then pay it off when I get the bill the next month. I've never paid interest on any credit card purchases ever. Paying interest on credit cards is for suckers.

Overtime money.
I also buy as much used parts as I can, and then I work on maximizing what I have.



Which reminds me I need more OT.

Do not finance it. You will end up paying for them after the car is gone! IVe done it! My motto is no cash, no sale.
