My body kit 1000, engine swap, 2000,Hasport swap kit and axles ,900 interior ,3000, wheels and tires 3000, i dont have em on due to winter. Now of course they dont appraise to what you have into it but for whats it worth. 3rd , if you have over 15,000 into a car and can prove it to them , they will insure it for what u have into car with something called Custom Insurance. So if i wreck it , i get 15,000 for whats in it. Not to mention the JRSC i ordered yesterday , Fluidyne radiator, JR fuel pump, Venom injectors, and hondata program moron.
Wow i didn't ask for the current market value of my car that's the MSRP. I got 11,400 for it. Any good ppg paintjob is a 3 stage you're an idiot for paying 6000 dollars for an EBP paintjob. Even if you want to honda itself they wouldn't bend you over for 6 large. If you wanted to check the current market value of a crusty pos CRX your car would be worth 500 dollars then we'd be starting at square one again.
Your body kit is a cheap pos, who pays 1000 dollars for some big mouth kit that belongs in 2f2f. You have steelies from what i can tell but i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say they're rota wheels that are nowhere near 3000...Even if they were spoons (which they aren't) they still aren't 3000 dollars so basically you're pulling numbers out of yoru ass. What comes down to is that you poured way too much time into a car that's a piece of sh*t tin can to begin with and you did it very inefficiently (3000 dollar "custom" interior) How much did the "custom" ass raping from the shop cost you or did they throw that in for free?
Oh yeah, how does it feel to pay insurance every 6 months that is more than the kbb value of your car? Better go ask your mom
