I just bought some Champion wheels, which other than installing my laser jammer is the last mod I'm planning to do. It's going to be a little weird not looking for this and that or planning for the next thing. Many of you have come to this point. What am I supposed to do, just enjoy the car now??

Buy another one and begin the process again! J/K...Enjoy her and drive it!! I have so many friends who don't drive their rides. I keep telling them why are you saving your car for the next owner? Seems pointless to not drive such nice cars when we've put so much into them. And then in the end we sell them for not a fraction of what we invested for someone else to enjoy, Doesn't seem right??

I'm not selling it for a while at least. I do drive it, although I find that I enjoy it much more when I can push it, like on the fun runs. So I use my DD for regular driving mostly now. I think I'll try auto-x and then DE. My guess is that life will make mods seem cheap.

I have what I want. Almost anyway. The only thing I'm not doing is the full leather interior, because I don't feel like ripping out the dash. I have PSS9's, SSK, GT3 front bumper and skirts (decided against the wing), the little silver dash strip thingy, second cubby storage, painted calipers, and now new wheels. I'm not a CF person so that's out. I guess I could paint the rear center console.

If I were to do these things, what would the final result be and what would it cost?
