what was your most expensive mod?

[AFAccord]

My headunit ran $999, with no tax. Probably the SINGLE most expensive modification. More so than the new motor, cam, new tranny, wheels, tires, etc... Paid $950 for my turbo, but it hasn't seen this car, so that doesn't count.

My last CG3 had around $12,000 total into it, with nothing being more than $500 individually.

well my eclipse avn 5435 was my number one at about $1200 but now its my new tranny weighing in at $3500.... lol

 

[hendizzlez]

[hancockd]

nothing crazy expensive on my car yet...unless you count my seat/harness as one mod...then it's like $1000 per seat/harness/brackets....retro also cost me about $1000...as did my wheels/tires....and my suspension setup costs about $1000 too if you count the camber kits...

I almost did my doorhandles too, my guy was going to do it for $500 extra which was a deal but I opted not to do it since it would of taken another 2 weeks probaly to get my car back. I was more concerned with the body work and paint.

Anyways, my paint came out to over $1,500 thus far but I think my engine work was about the same or more.

Extra F23A Motor: $450
WebCams Regrind: $300
Head Work (incl. parts): $700
Honda Gasket Set: $150
Misc. parts: $250

Does not including all of my engine performance bolt ons! (UR Pulley, AEM Fueling parts, I4 TB, etc.) That's about another $1,000 easy.

I had my guy at our shop help me do most of the R&R and saved a lot of labor $$$ too... the additional shop discounts are also a bonus!


Now that I think about it, I have way too much money invested on my ride!

800.00 for my doubled din
500.00 total for compustar alarm system with remote start and add ons
500.00 carbon fiber hood
1200.00 for tires and wheels 2 different sets sold only 1 and am on my third set of wheels which will cost more.

Those are all the most expensive things I have done.

 

[Dracord]

about how much?

I'll count it as a "project"

I got a used fmax kit for $1500
Sold the BTM (timing) and MF2 (fuel) that came with it for 400 which i used to rebuild the turbo.

Purchased various fuel items as well as a SAFC, Boost controller, gauges for about $1000.

Sold SAFC and purchased AEM EMS with Wideband O2 sensor/gauge for $1200
