    system-500
    exhaust- 350
    accents- 75
    and alot of small stuff, plus install

    window tint(soon) 80 bucks

    but i have also:
    500(savings, 500 deductible) in case i screw my car up
    800(savings i cannot touch till 21)
    1400- checkings account(christmas, gas)

              ****ing $275 a month for rent? Do you live in a treehouse? [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

              I don't think its too bad except for the hood, I mean the hood looks cool but $900 cool?

              trust me in scool no matter how well you are doing you cannot have "enough money"

                            GO for it man, do what you enjoy, you only live once.

                            If your into to cars like iam, then putting all your money in the car isn't that big of a deal [img]smile.gif[/img]
                            I just hope you don't pay poeple to install stuff cause that would be expensive.
