Default Most you could spend on your Civic?

I've just been sitting here contemplating all the things I could do to my car to get it just the way I want it, with nothing else to desire. I'm sure some of you have wish lists that are far more intricate and expensive than mine... I'm keeping this pretty general for reading's sake...

Engine:
B18C swap $5000 + $700-$800 labor
JR supercharger $2195 + $400 labor
Priced by Alternative Motorsports here in OKC

Exterior:
Original, Granada Black Pearl, Miscellaneous Paint & body $6000 est.

Interior:
Full black leather interior/Red stitching + matching door inserts, $700
Molded Aluminum Dash kit + A/B/C pedals $200
JDM floormats $200
JDM ITR steering wheel $800

Total: $16,295

I'm satisfied with my wheels and suspension... Had to rush this list, but that's it for now... What's on your ultimate wish list?

wow, i don't know if santa's elves know how to make all that.

i have a wish list, i just don't know the prices of everything i want. i don't think i'd swap out my engine, so that would save a lot of mon-ay.

mechanical:
cold air intake

exterior:
white pearl or red paint job plus dents removed.
fog lights
Si wheels
new grill (already in progress )
spoiler (already in progress )

interior:
convert everything to black, maybe have some leather seats.
satellite radio system

i think that's all for now. [8D]

my list is all underhood. megan racing exhaust (350), i guess now im gettin a B18C since you pointed me in that direction (i was gunna get the GSR unless i could find the B18C for a decent price) so thats prolly gunna be like 5k, crower stroker kit (2500), sleeved (havnt gotten a quote on that, im guessin about 2k for shipping and labor and parts), B16A head, Skunk 2 valvetrain, type R cams, AEM adjustable cam gears. then i'll piece together a turbo kit.im looking at running a Garrett T3/T61 at 15 on the street, 20 at the track.

and im not doing this for a long while because i wanna do most of it at once (like order the engine and the stroker, ship 'em off, install 'em and when its in the car work on the head) so i can feel the full gain.

I think with everything I have plans for its gonna total $12k. Or there abouts. Majority of it is bulletproofing engine and the turbokit ~$6k. prolly 1250ish for new suspension. 3000 for BC2 body kit, CF hood and repainted rough estimate. The rest is for small things, Sparco seats, fuel pressure reg, fuel rail, sway bars and the likes. This is obviously going to take a while to finish but hey I got time and patience.

Hmmm, let me check my receipts.
Paint job - $580
Window tinting - $160
Front and rear speakers - $240
Tachometer - $58
Viper feedback alarm - $420
Rear strut tower bar - $15

That comes out to be $1473!

Future plans after I get my Hog and finish up school:
b18C2 - $3000ish
sway bars - no idea at the moment
Some Sparco seats - $700-$800

I don't know, I could easily see dropping like seven or eight grand into my Maggie. She deserves it.
