How much have you spent so far?
How much have you spent so far?
Just curious to see how much people have spent on their car. I know they have a thread like this on my350z and probably here too but i couldn't find it.. so i'll start a new one just for fun since I was budgeting for the holidays and calculated all my expenses. Besides all the other threads were way old anyways.. doesnt hurt to have a new one! 
So ive calculated parts + labor + money i've lost from selling parts (which is the same as money ive made back from selling parts.. which is usually less than what I paid, which is why its a loss!) and came to a figure of 22k.
I know there are people here who have spent more on modding than on the actual car itself. Show yourselves! To me this is a good way for me to keep check so I don't go overboard like some of you have! It'll be a good kick in the nuts right before the holidays if you haven't added up your expenses yet!

flex bought it used.. the person only used it for about 1k miles if i remember correctly.. edfc i bought new.. thats about normal price no? installation of coilovers isnt all that bad.. its only like 150.. or something but to install the edfc, they charge a lot for that..took them a long time too so i didnt complain. If you browse around theres always coilover deals.. just be careful not to get a set thats been overused
Let's see..
1. rear spoiler $560
