Boring_MKV Build Thread ('22 - 3.0 Prem Turbulence Grey)

Follow me on IG: boring_mkv

Wanted to start a post (mostly for myself) to document my journey with my new MKV Supra. One thing I want to do is share the costs associated with things (parts + labor), which I don't see people post about often.

Installed/Previously Installed:

Type	Description	Part Cost	Labor Cost	Notes
Wheels/Tires	Volk TE37SL - Flat Black w/ Tires (Bought Used)	$3800	$140	Labor cost to transfer TPMS + mount/balance
Wheels/Tires	Hub Centric Rings	$20	N/A	Had to buy 2 sets (8 total) because for some reason the hub bore on the TE37s are different for the front/rear wheels
Suspension	HKS Hipermax Springs	$925	$425
Interior	Ceramic Window Tint	$300	$300
Exterior	ZL1 Mudguards (Front + Rear)	$90	N/A	I was a dumbass and ended up buying the front/rears separately
Exterior	AMS Wind Buffeting Kit	$120	N/A	This was the only one that worked (out of 3 different ones I've tried) and looked decent
Tools	Various tools for working on the car (car jack, jack stands, torque wrench, etc.)	$500	N/A	Got a garage finally so I wanted to do any work I can myself (labor is not CHEAP!)

Waiting to be Installed:

Type	Description	Part Cost	Labor Cost Est.	Notes
Exterior	Seibon MB Style Wing + Paint	$800	$350	Bought new, but came with a crack; fixed it myself and had my local body-shop paint match it to my OEM paint
Wheels/Tires	Motorsport Hardware Stud Conversion Kit	$110	N/A

Future Plans:

Type	Description	Part Cost Est.	Labor Cost Est.	Notes
Exterior	Aimgain Style CF Front Lip	$1500	N/A
Exterior	Aimgain Style CF Side Skirt	$1500	N/A
Exterior	Aimgain Style CF Rear Spats	$500	N/A
Exterior	EVS Fenders + Paint	$1000	$500
Exterior	Full Wrap (Most likely Innozetek)	$3000	N/A
Engine/Exhaust	Tomei Single Exit Exhaust	$1300	$500
Engine/Exhaust	Catted Downpipes	$1500	$500	Not sure which brand I wanna go with yet

Following! I like how you're tracking costs along with the build. It will be a good guide to how badly my local shop is ripping me off.

LMAO glad you think it’s helpful! I wanted to do this because when I first started building cars nobody tells you how much labor costs and it’s hard to tell if you’re being ripped off or not

This is great, but if you pay even close to that for all the carbon I'll smack ya upside the head myself, I make all the aimgan rep parts and they are NOT that expensive. Would love to hook you up when you are ready for all the carbon, custom steering wheel, or any other performance parts you may need, from what I can tell you have been paying retail and I think we need to change that!

Sure! I want to see how much it costs to go fast in a straight line for 1/4 of a mile.
