Thank you very much.
Yeah I agree about the "money spent well" expression. Some people just can't understand me putting large sums of money in to my car (outside the forums). It's my hobby, another life. I'm pretty sure everyone has something at least as important things in their lives as my car is for me! Kids, home, sports, just name it... And I don't judge them about it, because I can understand. It's sad that some of them can not, when it's about other people and their money.
Btw, there are more pics in the detailing section (link in my sig) if you wish to see them

Antti, no one here on this forum judges you for your modding (other than saying how great your car look - of course). I also love to tinker with my cars, 36 and none were sold stock 
. I do have kids (2 boys) and they are my heart and m world, but my car is my baby

Oh no I didn't mean anyone on the forum ! I meant outside the forum, in a real life .
! I meant outside the forum, in a real life .Who cares what THEY think?!?!?! You have a gorgeous car, as long as you are using extra cash to mod it and not harming anyone else (which is nearly impossible to do) then let them say what they want. Your money, you get to decide how to spend it ( even my wife and I have that agreement - as long as the bills are paid we don't question what we do with the leftovers
- works for us anyway)

A man had died, and it was a wake going on. All the quests knew the decedent very well and that he loved money. As a farewell gesture everyone dropped some little money in the coffin to reflect their appreciation... When it was his lawyer's turn, he approached the coffin, counted the money in the coffin, took his checkbook and wrote the sum and his few bucks in it, placed the check down, put the cash in his pocket and dignifiedly egressed the room muttering something about the banks in the heaven.
Why a lawyer? Because they know how the stuff works you know!

Looks good! 
I'm the type of person who would ask myself "Should I gamble the money on a lottery ticket or the slot machines, or just buy some mods?" and I always end up with the latter choice hehe

How much? How much did you spend?
I gotta say, your car is a real transformer
