Default Can’t…stop…buying…billet…HELP ME!!!

Alright, so it doesn’t make the car go any faster, but it makes it look a little better when it’s sitting still. Keep in mind that all I originally wanted was the billet shift ball and now the list goes like this:

MGW Billet/composite shift **** (no more burned hands from the Texas sun)
UPR Billet Shift Bezel
UPR Billet Front and Rear Cup Holder Bezels (NO drinks in the car)
UPR Billet Coin Holder Delete (does keep the Texas dust from building up in the slots)
UPR Billet E-Brake Handle
UPR Billet Turn Signal Cover (turn signals??? WTF are those?)
UPR Billet Tilt Lever
UPR Billet A/C Control *****
UPR Billet Headlight ****
UPR Billet Door Locks
UPR Billet Cigarette Lighter (don’t even smoke in the car)

In Shipping:
UPR Billet Door Lock Bezels
UPR Billet Rear Coat Hangers (didn’t realize these where even in the car ‘til I saw these)
UPR Billet Door Lock/Mirror Switch Kit

Next month:
UPR Billet Cruise Control Switch Kit (used cruise control twice since I’ve had the car)
UPR Billet Door Handles

Sometime after that:
UPR Billet Mach 460 Speaker Covers
Anything else UPR comes up with that I can’t say no to.

All this because of a stupid billet shift ball that I don’t even have anymore…Someone please help me!!!

Anything for your stang that is not rice, is not a bad addiction. Those things are expensive, but they give your car that luxury touch. So I say buy on... but make sure you don't loose site of performance mods.

i know it's a little off topic but where did you get the honeycomb for the tail lights? don't they also make a decal that just outlines the tails in black?

OMG, get out of the house now! You need to go directly to the hospital and do not contact anyone. You have "aluminous billitous" which will soon become "aluminous billitous dictous". This is when your shaft turns to aluminum and then you are screwed.

I looked, but that's about all I did. MGW is VERY proud of their products. I got the MGW **** secondhand off Ebay. They're just too expensive!

i have a lot of the same pieces in my car but everything is from mgw. their e-brake handle is actually cheaper and looks a hell of a lot better imo. looks damn good though man. just think soon you will have every billet piece in your car so you cant buy any more and what does that mean? you're cured!! lol...

Got a couple of those, BBK CAI, BBK pulleys, MAC exhaust, Pypes X-pipe and a X-cal tune...just waiting for a day off during the week to get the 4.10's out of the garage and on the car. Plenum/throttle body is next on the list performance wise...followed by headers.

Don't think I'll mess with the underhood stuff until I get out of Texas. WAY too much dirt and dust builds up in there. It takes long enough to detail the engine bay as it is. At least I can keep the interior clean.

Don't they have some sort of 12 step program to billet recovery?
