    hey guys im back thx for all the replies.....i figured id only be driving the car for 3 years before going to college so theres no point to buying a new car. But what price range should i be looking at for body kit painting and also around how much do you think it would cost to reupholster the seats?

    3 years is a pretty long time, getting a new car would not be pointless.

    buying a bodykit/paint/rims+tires/
    suspension/reupholster/ +installation
    will cost much more than what your car is worth. In the end when you go off to college and decide to sell your car, all that money you put in will do nothing to help to resell value of the car.

    Dude dont worry about the resale value... If you want your car to look nice then work hard and spend the money. Make modding a hobbie,like most of us here.

    A good move might be to just save the money and buy a C43 that already has the stock performance/body kit/rims. then you could get the color you want and have a 300hp V8. Just add some tint and it would be perfect. then you could focus on saving for college
