How much do you spend on mods at one time?

[GoMuscles]

Just curious as to the average amount one spends on their truck at one time.

I might be out of line by asking but do any of you guys get a break from any of the sponsors if your ordering lets say 3k OR MORE in parts at once?

I've spent big bucks on my truck this month and paid full retail on labor and parts from what I can tell. I know some may be shaking their head at this but that's why I bring up this thread. I want to work with a shop that sees me as a long term customer and gives a little when they know Im stretching my budget.

Figured Id see what courtesy (if any) others have received and from who.

So far I have done all my own work so I don't know what labor is for you but most site vendors give us a little break...

The vendors I've dealt with definitely work with you on pricing when spending a few grand at once.

Im seeing $125 an hr is typical hourly rate.

you hiring?

you hiring?

Guess that's a subtle way of saying Im getting hosed... lol

I do most of my own work but that seams steep. what are you located?

I have seen labor go from 80-200 an hour so its not insane. Definitely the more you bulk together you get more of a package deal. I know personally since I am from Canada I have to buy a group of things to be worth while instead of one thing at a time. On all of my previous vehicles the shipping and duties were the killer on the build it would cost me almost 2 times as much as someone building the same thing in the US.

Typically between 500-1000... but since that's not an option, I'm screwed here!

I also do my own work because:
A.) I can't trust any one with my truck
B.) I'm not a baller like some folks on here who can afford to drop a few grand at a time.
C.) I like working on my own shit; knowing it's done right is a great feeling.

$200 to $500 when I have the extra cash at a time.
