Ask EuroCarFan to see how much he has put on his car.
Dinan, Rad 20", tires, M-tek, rear diffuser, front spliter, euro lights, etc. => He's king of mod.

I don't know if "king" is the right word, "idiot" comes to my mind every time I look at my mods list. Seriously, I think it's catching up to me cause I was really fighting with myself on the last item (Dinan Rear CF Strut Brace).
well, not that you need any justification or reassurance, but (like me) you went this route because you could. it's what truly makes you content.
anyway, it's all about personal taste, style and an expression of one self. to each their own!! ha ha.
but seriously, you got yourself one sweet ride, inside and out. a most comprehensive and complete set of goodies for sure!! it's certainly no exaggeration that you're the definitive king of mods. We salute you!!
Lastly, I chose to pretty much stick with the stock (external) look. you know, keep things under the radar (so to speak) until someone provokes me and then....ha ha.......
ENJOY and BEST REGARDS!!

Ha ha. You got that right! When it's and said and done, it's all about what makes you happy. And modding your car to your exact preference is what's it all about!! Besides, life is simply too short. Would have, should have, could have, no thanks and no regrets either!! Again I salute all the modders here!!
BEST REGARDS

Better lock down your bank account and cancel your credit cards.. hahahaYou certainly take the prize for probably spending the most money in the shortest amount of time.
