WOW, you do have alot of cash in it for being stock still. But at the
same time, you need to look at how much you like your car. You need to
decide on whether or not your gonna keep it forever, like the rest of us
are and that will pretty much tell you that you can go ahead and spend
the money, over time, to get your car the way you want it. Its a good 
investment if your planning to keep the car forever.

So basically you have put $8,500 into your car. Another $3,000 will make
it $11,500 total. Where can you find a car built like this for that kind
of money?? I say it doesn't exist so its worth it to make your car the
way you want it. 

You can do like the rest of us and have a never ending project too!
