I didn't do this myself, but I got a whole laundry list of of things done by a shop over the last two weeks and I picked up the car today. TLDR: catback, intakes, jb4, brakes, PPF, window tint, ceramic coating.
I decided to just check everything off my list at once rather than piece it together. I am super happy with how it turned out, though we won't tell the missus how much I spent. Sorry I'm not a professional photographer. Did I mention I love my Stinger?

Brakes (F/R): Pads, rotors, lines
Quicksilver supersport catback
AEM intakes
Blowoff valve
Spark plugs
Catch can
JB4
Eibach Sway bars

Paint correction
PPF: Full front, rockers, splash, rear arch
Ceramic coating
Window tint

Edit: attached the dyno

We won’t tell your wife but how much did that all set you back?
 
I won't tell your wife, ...but only if you post up more pictures ;-)
 
My only regret in having the intakes, exhaust and swaybars installed all at the same time is that I didn't get to see the difference each individual upgrade made. Regardless, it was nice to just have it DONE and I felt like I was driving a different car. Congrats!

Gotta be a lot of labor in that cost, ouch! Glad you’re happy.
Yep. I added up all the parts and it's about 6k in parts without shipping costs. The paint correction, ppf, tint, ceramic work cost about that much, so there was another 1-2k in labor on the parts install. At $100/hr that's 10-20 hours of work, which seems reasonable enough.
Side note, i think my Stinger was the cheapest car in their shop, and it seems like they did good work so far.
 
Lolol no disrespect but you dont but tldr (to long didnt read) on the first post of a thread hahahahahahaha

You're just poking fun, right? Because I SHOULD do that every time that I create a thread (which isn't that often, but still).

That is a horrible cost vs return for a JB4/intake/catback parts list with paint and coating. Even in Canada I did the same except for brakes and didn’t hit 6 grand. Wow

So the JB4 map 2 seriously picks up 100 hp and torque?????
 
Ceramic and paint correction should be $1200 MAX. Jb4 install takes 8 minutes, catback takes longer to jack up than it does get it on lol.
 
Great stuff and good numbers. That's what I would expect to see on map 2 with intakes and catback, etc.

Not gonna hate on you for having professional guys work on your car... but 13k for 3k in parts and paint and protective materieals ... if they had your car at the shop for less than 2 weeks that was a massive rip off. (Because shop time is the most expensive part)

(I feel like elaboration)
$100 an hour divided by $10000 is no less than 100 hours shop rate. So 2 weeks.
P.s. i know the math isnt in the correct order

What did you pay for PPF? I'm looking at getting it done for my car (plus under side rust proofing) but the prices in my area are a bit silly.

I’m in Ottawa and it cost me $1,775 CDN to get the entire front clip covered in Xpel. That included the headlights and all the black chrome pieces.
