How much have you spent in modifications?

ZInferno0248 · 03-19-2012, 11:22 PM

I really didn't want to think about the total, but I voted and just realized that my Z plus the mods very nearly ='s a slightly used GTR.

But... it has been fun.

That's the way I look at. Yeah, it's an expensive passion, but it is fun. And for those of us that do some of the work ourselves, it is a huge source of pride and self-satisfaction. Can't put a price on those.

Agreed. I enjoy the anticipation and the install of the mod's even more than the mod's themselves. It's an escape for me.

I've put 10K into mine. It's the most expensive hobby I've ever had and it's by far the most rewarding too.
