I believe these are the prices. I'm going off memory so I'm not 100% about these.

TRS Kit: $295
AAC Halos: $170-ish
AAC Fog Light Kit: Couple hundred I think.
(Very) Customized Harness: $175
Labor to Retrofit: $300
Labor for light/harness install: $400 (He quoted $200 originally but the harness took a lot more work than he was expecting. He stayed true to his quote, but I felt he earned more.)

I ended up spending a lot more than I planned to when I started getting into these lights and could have saved a lot by piecing the fog light stuff together and doing the retrofit and harness install myself, but I am new to all this stuff and it was scary to me. Haha
Awesome!

Well was at the dealership for about 2 hrs to update the bcm and audio for remote start, steering controls and PDIM. Steering controls and PDIM working great but I will have to buy the remote start kit so I can have the special secret password auth code...
Oh well before it gets cold I guess. I don't drive it in the winter anyway just would be nice to heat the car up so the window dont frost stick when it gets cold out.

LS mods

First thing I put in was a Hurst comp short throw shifter, easy to put in took 1 hour. Black speed Foose wheels, 69 nose and hood stripes. Check out my garage for pics and other mods. Had it 2 years just getting started!

I got the LS as well. Haven't had it very long yet but I've loved every minute of it so far. It's my DD too. Not that I couldn't afford an SS or even just an LT something about buying new stuff for it makes me happy
Here's a rundown of my mods-to-be:

Blackout Tail lights (purchased/shipped)
Blackout ALL Front lights (purchased/shipped)
Vararam for 2012 V6 (when they make it)
Hood Spears in Matte Black
Lower Side Accents in Matte Black
American Racing Mainline Wheels Chrome w/ Black Accent
Front/Rear Emblems in Matte Black
Cat-Back system (unsure of which ATM)

I know thats a couple grand there but it makes it more personal to me. As of now, I don't plan on ever selling it as it's my first nice ride. I went from an 82' F-250, to a '96 Tacoma to this. As I piece it together I'll add photos

awfarley.... I agree with you. It crazy how many have asked why I didnt get the v8 powered Camaro... They always think is a dollar thing, I just laugh inside.. I also use mine as a dd every day spring, summer & fall... I do store it for the winter but I didnt need 400+hp in my dd. If I want that much power I would drive one of my toys, not my dd.

Yeah I can't stand people like that. I bought the car because that's WHAT I WANTED. Mos of the time its people who have rust buckets. Like yourself I bought my car and its my dd from sunshine to snow and I love drivin it year round. you can make a ls look real good, I think mine does and if you want to hang or pass the "big boys" you can always turbo. It's just sad that nowadays people always have to say something negative but whatever I'm totally enjoying owning this beautiful car !

I actually was looking for the MPG in my purchase. I also couldn't justify the 4k for leather and fog lights. I work at a Honda dealership. The guys at work were like "You can't get a muscle car with no muscle" then 5 rolls around and they get in their Civics and head home.

I have $600-700 left right now to spend on mods but I don't know what to get with it (I want something cosmetic)

I bought a 2012 ls about 2 weeks ago and have installed fog lights, thanks Camaro Scotty for the idea. Made my own wiring harness. It has the 18" aluminum wheels. I am considering a Hurst shifter.

Do it. My Hurst was one of the first mods I added to my car and it is still one of my favorites.
