My wife was complaining about how much I've spent so far on my car. She was guessing over $3000. I added it up, not an exact figure but I'm right at $4100!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img] My car is great right now, but still... I think I need to slow down or just plain stop! I had planned to go with a S/C or T/C in a few months but now I just don't know. I think I'm fast enough with the Zex right now! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]
So how about it? Anyone else brave enough to add up their mods thus far?

I feel your pain brother!
I also have over $4100 into my car now and that isn't even counting the labor costs to have some of this stuff installed.
I believe it was Hamid that said there is no cure for the modding bug.
I am not married so I have no one to keep me in check except my empty wallet. I too think my car is great now but like others I am still looking for things to do. I'm not even close to thinking about a S/C after spending the money on the C&L but I am considering a PHP alt. pulley and dual exhaust.
We are sick, sick people! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/screwy.gif[/img]

This is a painful one to answer! I've spent exactly $4.87... but, I'm in heavy denial.
hmm... ok... I'll guestimate, since I don't have my receipts handy...
1) American Racing Casino Chrome wheels/Pirelli P-zero Nero tires $1500
2) JBA titanium finish, ceramic coated headers $640 + $250 for installation
3) JBA duals $560 + $150 for installation
4) C&L intake $300
5) SCT X-cal 2 from Bamachips $284
6) Motive 3.73 gears and Auburn limited slip differential $845 (including installation)
That's about $4538 in the hole. My only consolation is... I don't owe a darn thing on my ride... she's free and clear. But, now my inheritance cash is running low and I'm slowing down (honest!) with the mods. My wife and I just adopted a 5 month old pit bull/chocolate lab mix so a lot of my energy will be spent with her. But, I may still save my nickels for a supercharger...hehe... yeah... who am I kiddin'? I may slow down, but I won't stop...

Right on Hamidlmnt. Not to brag, but I just paid off my baby last month. So that is one thing that makes me feel better so I know how you feel.

Rear Louver - $400
Hood scoop - $460
UPR stuff - $300
Midwest cover - $150
BMR LCAs - $280
MMR shocks - $150
So that $7045... That doesn't include pulleys, the MMR CAI, 2 other mufflers,lowering springs.... Then of coures there's dyno time... LOL!
