This could be a repost... But bare with me people >>

Just curious.. Some of you people out there are really into the modding scene... What's the total amount of money you put into your car. This goes for engine mods, suspension mods, exterior mods, interior mods.. you get the idea...

Lets see... With me
I put in an estimated $2070 into my car...
And thats mainly exterior and interior

Thats kinda a lot considering I havent really done much >>

with every penny ive put into it thus far..including price of the car, around 9K CND.

well I bought my celi for $4K, and Im sure Ive put way more than that into her >>

ive gone about a lil' over 9k on mine...with exterior and swap. ill prolly spend another 9k before i ease up on the mods... >>

just gutta know how to save and spend wisely...thats how i get by without getting broke >>

bboy

Too much >>

and im still spending money on it >>

eeh somewhere around 3k to 4k

so far the ST...other than the $$ I spent to buy the car...

off the top of my head, $3000 not including tires, brakes

the GT - about $300 so far and a lot more planned...

umm +/- 500.. exhaust and Quickshifter... Need to get new tires soon, at that point I will probably get better wheels and lower it all at the same time..

Probably between engine, audio, and suspension I'm looking at about $2300-3000 max. I have much more planned, and I would've spend around 4 grand over the summer except I spent my money on other big purchases instead.
