Are the prices variable? Or fixed cost on these upgrades? All these upgrades are reversible and refundable I take it? (I'm hungover, so maybe made some mistakes, but lets make this an interesting debate on upgrades and what they have to offer and also lets discuss tuner costs too, nicely!)

So what are the prices?
