modification costs

[noom14921992]

so i have been looking at every ones cars on here and i have to say most of them look AWESOME. but of course there are the few that are still stock. but i have some questions.

i see every one getting cool head lights, tails, spoilers, bumpers and extensions, etc.......

but i have looked and all the stuff i have found is all really expen$ive stuff.

do you all really pay sticker price for all your add-ons?
for example i check on the SE front valence and it was $500. and so was the rear SE valence.

but i am looking to buy a jeep right now for $2000 and i am wondering if i used that for my GP what all could i get instead of a jeep?

any good advice for a novice such as my self?

thanks alot!

the SE valence are becoming hard to find so expect to pay dearly for them unless you get a car that already has them like I did then its just a small part of the total cost of the car

and where is the best place to even buy parts from any way?

 

[tod1d]

classified section on sites like this, if you patient you will get a good deal

 

[thedudeSE]

or craigslist

the thing with craigslist is there are no 04+ GP's down here. so no parts.

it sucks.

the only things i want are

1. rims. like the gxp but does not have to be gxp
2. front bumper like gxp or re-painted stock bumper with the SE or inferno valence
3. rear bumper like gxp or the SE or equivalent rear valence
then 4 would be exhaust for duels.


how much would you all guess that would cost?
thats really all i want

If you dont have dual exhaust already it shouldnt be too much to have an exhaust shop hook you up. Nice dual/dual tips would probably cost almost as much as that.
