I've got the same problem, but I look at my car way too much, I think it's not healthy. but I couldn't decide where to start. I ended up starting with blacking out my taillights, tint, and matte black grill. and I just ordered black emblems. But mainly my problem is i never have enough money to do big mods, aka MTech kit, Wheels, Turbo, so on and so on. I have so many ideas, and a picture in my head of what I want it to look like. It's just such a long list, It going to take foreveerrrr
That's what saving is for. If we all had the $$$$ to do all the mods we wanted at once we'd probably all have M5s kitted out like EuroCarFan. Unfortunately, most of us have to take our time because we have other things like, of I dunno, rent/mortgage to pay. Don't worry take it slow and it'll get done.

That makes for a VERY expensive second Mod!!
Nah, the second mod could be a bargain depending on the wheels chosen. Remember the full CF 20" for $11k a wheel? That would make the rest of the mods look downright cheap if you get those.
