just thought i'd update this thread since i've been bought quite a few new parts for my car in the past few months. so far i've spent about $856 plus the $2156 in my first post back in april. so my new total is $3012. and i still have to install some of the exterior stuff so that's gonna cost even more. just wondering how much you've guys spent lately. plus i'm sure some of the new members bought some new stuff after learning where to get them from this site.

about 8 thousand dollars, but for some reason, it feels like it doesn't look like it.

I've had my car about a month and i've spent close to about 700 dollars on a car I got for 2500... When i bought it it needed new tires, and i didnt get them right away so when one blew, it cracked the rim... SO new rims came shortly after the purchasing of the car, then CAI which I did myself, tires and this all doesnt mention the 500 dollar stereo. Pretty much Im living from check to check to buy more stuff.

$0 for performance upgrades
$0 for exterior stuff

total spent? $9500 for the car.

add in maintenance cost over the years, 2 $250 deductables, and I guess I've spent I dunno, maybe $11,000 total? I bought the car with 56,000 miles on it 5 years ago.

it's not worth it to me to mod it. 99% of the time, money you spend on modifying a car you will never, ever see again. i wouldn't mind a gt-four front end and all that jazz, but spending 1/5th of what the car costs on a hood, bumper and paint just doesn't seem worth it to me.

instead of performance, i bought a 2003 GSXR-600. that's $65 a month for the payments, and it can blow the doors off of anything that can't run 11 second quarter miles.

Ive spent about $20,000 in the last 18months not including the purchase of the car or the $400 a month on fuel, the only labour being about $900 for mapping, all the rest was on parts. Im a loooong way off being finished yet though, seems kinda silly doesnt it.....

bought the car for $4500 in...June? Can't remember...someone go find my first post, lol...

since then,

$600 for parts and labor to get it serviced and tuned up (desperately needed)
$300 for a Viper 2-way paging alarm system and installation
$30 to get my nickname vinyled on the back glass
$10 to have a place tell me that I need to pull my chassis out 4 degrees by the front passenger wheel in order to properly align my wheels >_<
$400 is about to get dropped to re-upholster the seats in leather (waiting for a new driver seat...hmmm...)
nada for the amp and 12's (someone owed me a favor)

...and I still need to find a new steering wheel...that looks good...and has a horn...and works....lol

so far, then, I've spent $1340 in my first two or three months of ownership...not bad since that's almost exactly what I sold my other car for, lol.
