Just curious will it get to the point where you have modded you car enough where there is nothing else to do to it? What next?? Is there members here who have done sufficient mods to there car where they no longer feel they have to do anymore to it??

every car ive owned ive modded to the point where i get sick of the car. so i sell it and buy a new one :P

i would love to go all out with modding a car but i still need it practical. whats left that i want to do on the Lancer is exhaust, small audio upgrade, and maybe a bonnet. would love to lower it but i scrape as it is now. after that there is nothing else i want to do. so i will prob sell it soon after ive done those mods

I bought a project car to try and stop modding the Focus.

Since getting the project car it has not moved, and I have not touched it. I have still modded the Focus.

The CJ was modded up to the point I got rid of it... There is no hope for me :P

I'm getting close to this point.

Just need the RA or replica RA bonnet and I'll be done. The car is now 3yrs old. Time to start saving for the next car.

Yeah that's true the costs can get out of control if your not careful I kinda had a idea what I wanted when I first purchased the car. Joining the club gave me more ideas as well lol. However I'm planning on keeping my car for a while yet even after all the mods are done just to take advantage of the 5/10 yr warranty. So I'll be clocking up 160,000 before the ten years are up. Based on I do around 30,000 per year it will be around 5-6 years before drivetrain warranty runs out so that's when I'll plan on getting a new one, whether it be a lancer or something else :)

I don't think it matters what model you have. Even owners of the aspire or R/A - Evo still do mods :) . Having said that if I had a aspire, all i would probably do to it would be front bumper black out, and maybe a set of wind visors and a lip spoiler
