How old are you?
Maybe save the heavier modding for the next car, that's what I did.
I'm too old to be making less than 20k a year, IMO. I'm not saying I'm entitled to more because it's my fault I'm making that much. I just didn't think I'd be where I am now. I thought I'd be more....successful.

As for "heavy" modding, define that. My last car, 92 Accord, was modded. It had wheels, fogs, JDM headlights, tint, custom exhaust. The engine and interior were fairly stock. But I'm that same point with this car. Fogs, I/E, wheels, tint, EDM lights. Only thing is, this car is newer, nicer, and faster, lol.

It's like the 6+6 swap; that's gonna cost upwards of $7000. It took me YEARS to save up that much for my 6G. It'd take me years to save up that much again. Granted, it'd be like a new car but sometimes I wonder.. Why couldn't I just save up a few grand, sell my 6G and buy a CL or newer TL or even a TSX? Or put that money down on an 8G coupe, ya know? I'm not talking about NOT modding my CG. Just sometimes I get to thinking and I over think, lol.

^Why $7k? Should be half that for a tranny swap only. Maybe $4500 at most. :)

Went junkyarding again today. Thought I had my wingless trunk but then saw it once had a spoiler...so disappointing since this yard only charges $50 for one. But got a spare tire tiedown, some replacement clips, the knobs for the cargo net, trunk plug, center tail nuts, & grabbed a bunch of fuses and clips. Also some cruise/sunroof switch bulbs.

I'm fairly satisfied with what I have now, I'll probably drive this thing until it wont go no more.

Then look at my options, at which point I may move away from honda and look at some G35's and subies

That is unless my dad wants to sell me his 8th Gen Coupe

Go my Magnaflow muffler welded on as well a deleted my mid muffler. The muffler for some reason is tilted to the left a tad, it wasn't like that when he welded it.. It's kinda bothersome. But anyways, it sounds awesome!
