Ok, I decided to find a car with exceptional gas mileage, innovative electronics, and modern day body style. All without breaking the bank! You all know what I am talking about so I decided to post a picture and let you know the total cost. You be the judge!
First you must use all your connections (legally of course)! Then, do your homework (use this website and many others out there). Then above all, be creative!
Caliper paint was $9 plus two hours of careful work.
Wheels and tires were $1447 at Discount Tire
Konig Wheels 8.5 19 with a 45mm offset
Motivo Tires 235/35/R19
Window Tint was $140
Stereo was $650 to include JL 12" sub with Fosgate Amp
I sold my factory wheels and tires for $800 out the door on Craig's list to a guy who had an 2014 LX. He was very happy with his new look as well.
The total for the mods was $2213. After I sold the factory wheels and tires, I have the perfect car for $1413.
I loose about 20% in ride comfort and road noise with the wider/low profile tires and it took about 1 hour for me to figure out how to re-calibrate the tire sensors (TPMS) but all is well! The speedometer is off by 1 mph when compared to my speedo app.
