How much money did you put into your car?

I was just curious how much money do people put into their cars?


I personally put in about $2,000, i dont want to keep going because i want to get a 6 spd and go all out on that.

no one really likes to keep track of how much they've spent on mods...because at the end of it all, when you add up all the numbers, it makes no financial sense to mod your car.

i've easily spent the price of a second G35 Coupe with all the packages + tt&l

One month strong with my G, and already suffering from the disease "nonstop modding"!!! lol. Started modding even before making first monthly payment LOL, which is really stupid of me. Nice thread, makes me rethink some things honestly.

When I think of all the mods I have I just have to shake my head. The small mods are not too bad but when you start with wheels, an exhaust, and audio setup the money just adds up. For the guys with FI forget about it.
