And you still have a stock looking car.
Again, it's all about shopping around. And your knowledge of cars. If you can find the stuff you need at prices under the norm and know how to install or do most of the work yourself, your costs are going to be much lower. And it really has to do with the car you start off with as well. It's probably impossible to even get started modifying a Porsche without a beginning price of several thousand dollars. But you could turn around and make some damn good power out of a Dodge neon for that same amount. Later, QD.
