How much should i expect to spend

Hey guys new here and just wanted to know .How much should i expect to spend to build a clean daily driven Q45  oh yeah its a 1995 . Trying to figure out how much not including regular maintenance and or gas . Thanks guys 
 
I have a couple of things that i'm looking at already just chime in with you info thanks .
 
1) Some D3S's = around $ 2300
2) Air ride of some sort  = around $ 3000
 
These are just some round about prices that ppl seem to be selling there stuff for .
 
What kind of stuff i gues i'm asking about is 
Bodykits = must be a clean flowing style (no knock offs )
Interior styling= no system needed 
Performance Mods = Give me some ideas 
And anything else ppl can thing of thanks Erik

what size D3s are those?
 
 
i live in japan, and have maybe 20k total so far and my car looks liek ass.
 
so maybe 30k total in teh US

So in other words i should look for another job to support this hobby cause the one i have now pays bills and for taking the ladies out on the town.Well if i need help finding parts can i hit you up  Yokotas13.

basically
its not a hobby that is viable if you dont make enough cash. Its a futilestyle that feeds on spending large amounts of money on things not worth it, except the name
 
VIP is an expensive popularity contest, reminds me of high school lol

Well i could stop eating (for the performance) and kick the hoochies to the curb to save some extra cash ooo and sell a kidny on ebay . Time to ask for a raise .Thanks Guys

no matter how much money you have to spend, it will always cost more than you have.

Yeah it seems like thats the case with a lot of things in life . Oh and does anyone have any idea where i can pick up a VIPcar mag in Northern Va or is this something that has to be ordered.

I couldn't agree any more. :signdammit:

just buy everything that you want to make your car clean....now that will tell you the amount of money you have to spend to make it clean.

Vip cars are hella expencive to start building, but if it something you love doing and you dont care about how mutch cash youll spent on it, that mean soon some one will have a one sick VIP ride. :biggthumpup:
Good luck with your build.  Keep us updated on when you start on your build.

It depends on how far you want to take it.  If you just want a "nice" car then you can look to spend around $10,000-$15000.  If you want to go all out like some of the cars you would see in a magazine, expect to spend  25-40grand
 
 
Just save up for what you really want so you dont waste your time and money doing the same things over again like wheels.  Good luck

one word would help you and it is =

So true .. other wise you will redo what you have already bought ... but thats apart of styling .. 

:pat:

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think when going into VIP cars, money shouldnt be an option, but time should. Take your time and do it right..or how you want it and dont settle for anything less.

just cop a fusa theyre less than a hundo

;)

Yeah well just looking around this site as well as some of the venders i have noticed they have somethings in commen  lots of 0's and big $'s lol. But i do have to say something in side me when it comes to cars doesnt see those 0's or $'s . So this might be the scene i've been looking for . And as far as honda's go they do get exspensive i've owned many of them from 92 hatchs to a 2000 coupe and even 89 crx all with mod's .So time and money was invested in to them all and when sold took a loss on everyone . 
 
So thanks guys i now know i need another job / sell some blood or just hit the lotto and build 1 bad ass ride .....

Take out a loan for 20 grand and pray to your god it'll be enough to cover what you want.
 
It didnt work for me haha.

how much do you have in saving?

there's no limit.. until you're satisfied with what you have in the end.. that's how much you have spent! to me.. there's always gonna be something you're gonna want to buy! and knowing how much it'll improve your ride in any way.. you're gonna get it!!

Well i'm not gonna be taking out any loans anytime soon so i guess i'll be pieceing  this togother spending money where needed the most .Regular maintence and up keep is #1 right now and wheels and suspenion arent that far behind . And i understand when ppl say theres no limit cause as soon as i think i'm out it just pulls me back in . Thanks to everyone for there imput , it hasnt gone in 1 ear and out the other like when my gf talks to me lol.

Well put it this way there's very few people on this site that have a complete car that they no longer touch. Everyone is always adding things here and there or changing their mind on something i.e. Yokotas13. Some people knock him for always switching up others admire that he doesn't settle on something just to get to the next phase. First things first make sure your car is well maintained, there's nothing worse than a vipcar that has mechanical issues. Secondly start with wheels and ride height and work your way from there. To get your car running like it should go to nicoclub.com, they know there ish and also have an ecu for ur car i believe

Yeah i think in any hobby/ lifestyle that deals with cars the ppl involved know there is no such thing as being done with the car . And i agree with everyone with the main thing being [I]GET THE CAR RUNNING LIKE NEW AGAIN[/I]. I'm also a member on Nicoclub.com they seem to deal with more of the factory look and performance aspect of the Q , here it seems like its more about styling . So i have been bouncing back and forth to get infomation from both sites (seems like i'm here more lately for help finding the right LOOK) .  Thanks guys you all been a huge help with this new and exciting project .
