As the post says...lets start to shed some tears over the amount of $$$ we've dumped into our pride...
ME:
- $4000 - Used 1993 Honda Civic CX
- $1300 - 17" Konig Verdicts with Rubber
- $800 - GSR Blades with Rubber
- $3000 - Paint Job (Car grinded down to bear metal, painted Electric Metallic Pearl Blue)
- $1100 - Sound System
- $275 - Exhaust
- $375 - 2 3/4" Piping
- $700 - Full Suspension
- $300 - Autometer Sport-Comp Silver Tach
- $150 - CAI
- $100 - Tint
- $75 - Used Carpet
- $30 - Clear Lenses
- $180 - Replaced Windshield Maintenance
- $400 - Full Distributor Assembly Maintenance

people always say oh cover your plate and stuff in online pics...well the way i see it, how many people do i pass a day that can get my plate?
so its really not worth it...and whats the point of purchasing and spending all this money if you can flaunt it?
its like telling a chick, ok you can get implants but u cant show any cleavage! its just not right!

well you have a point .... but hey it just makes it easier .. if I was going to steal a modified car ... I wouldn't be driving looking I'd be browsing these forums and checking them out that way ...
disclaimer: I will never steal a car this is meant as an example of what someone else might do.
