Modification Estimates

MustangMan00Vtech · November 21st, 2011, 07:50 PM

Hey guys,

So me and my friend were adding up everything we've done to our cars to see how much we have in them.

So I ask you guys....Whats your total $$ if you add up everything you've done to your mustang.

This does not include vehicle cost or routine maintenance.

It does include things like:
Exhaust
Tunes
Tires(if upgraded from stock)
Visual
Fluids(if updated royal purple/trans cooler etc.)
Pretty much every possible thing.
*Labor too* forgot that

It took us a while because we kept thinking of more and more(so think it out.)

Needless to say I am too ashamed to say what mine is, but I will after this thread gets rolling a bit haha.

Oh also include how long you've had your car.

Ready.....GO

I have roughly $3500 tied up in stuff on my car. It had a lot on it before I got it though. I have had the car since late september. Mods I bought: BBK strut tower brace, Flowtech longtube headers, O/R x pipe, 75mm TB & UP, CAI, top, headlights, paint, gauges, speakers, SCT flash tuner.

I've had my 03 for a year. I started out keeping track of money spent. Then after I changed wheels 3 times and exhaust system 2 times, I stopped keeping track. It only made me feel bad! But, that being said, atleast I'm not wasting it on drugs or something stupid like that. It's been fun!

mustanginky · November 21st, 2011, 08:13 PM

boost is my drug lol

i think i added it up and it was around 10k, but it's hard to figure because i changed wheels 3 or 4 times, and exhaust 5 or 6 times.

blownstang · November 21st, 2011, 08:35 PM

Right at $8,000 including parts, tune, summer and winter street tires, and track wheels/tires. Does not include labor. About another $900 laying around for the intercooler setup. Have owned the car since 10/2005.

BLUE91GT · November 21st, 2011, 08:37 PM

Maybe 500.00 all the rest was included in my purchase price because the previous owner did it all for me!

bulloch27 · November 21st, 2011, 08:55 PM

Had it for a year. Cost of the car plus about $5000.00.

Cabikejumper · November 21st, 2011, 09:03 PM

Had mine for 5 months.

107- clutch kit
115- Eagel f1 tires
169- intake manifold( buying tomorrow)
50- straight pipes
200- cowl hood
30- rear OEM bumper

Everything else was already on the car.

limited · November 21st, 2011, 09:32 PM

Bought the car new and put about 12k into car(including parts on hand but not installed). I probably underestimated and I did all the work myself

joswo1980 · November 21st, 2011, 09:35 PM

5800 so far in past 4 months and I still ain't done yet

F8L GT · November 21st, 2011, 09:37 PM

enough to buy another,

joswo1980 · November 21st, 2011, 09:38 PM

Had it for 2 years though last year I did rims, exhaust and headlights which was about 1500, oh and I been doing all work myself, so that's all just parts! Smh its a drug

Jazzer The Cat · November 21st, 2011, 09:38 PM

I bet you all would would be curious to know.... but I ain't talkin'!

Jazzer says

Mighty Stang · November 21st, 2011, 11:12 PM

Had the car for little more then a year, Paid 11k for it, put into about 4k into it soo far with just basic shit like extior mods and longtubes. By the time i put a charger on it it will be a lot.

Mr. Jazzer, I suspect your Griggs suspension wasnt' cheap.

I've got $12,000 over and above the $10,000 I paid for the car 5 years ago. It was a low mileage car until I got it. About a year after I bought the car I thought about trading it for an "05 Mustang GT. The dealership wanted $6,000 plus my car. I decided that I could build a 450 hp car for about the same price as they wanted for a 300 hp car. The price above also includes labor. I don't really like pulling engines and changing transmissions anymore. I have done it and been there in some of the worst conditions imaginable.

0949er · November 21st, 2011, 11:36 PM

I am going to stop counting at $10k to keep myself from getting upset.

TRMach1 · November 21st, 2011, 11:49 PM

Parts and labor for 2008 Aluminator/Kenne Bell build - $31,641.38.

Other crap that I've bought/traded for/or otherwise acquired over the past nine years, probably another $5-7K.

sharkbait · November 21st, 2011, 11:53 PM

I like to not think about it.

it helps me sleep at night

sonicx · November 21st, 2011, 11:58 PM

This thread is kinda depressing ahaha. I've owned mine since 08/01/07 (2nd owner). Prob in the low 3K range i've spent ontop of the mustang itself.

2002ct · November 22nd, 2011, 06:47 AM
