I got her just recently (a few months ago), so there's not too much here.. but y'know..

$7,700 for the car, title, license.. etc.
$700 in maintenance (got a 60k tuneup + some)
..gas..

My plans have 5 tiers:
-Stereo and Interior
-Body and Paint
-Wheels
-Performance
-Final Touches

The stereo is going through right now, head unit, front/rear spkrs, an amp.. + installation, around $1,200. Other interior parts include a PS2, lcd, etc.. running another few hundred.

Body and Paint include a full Invader kit, full body repaint (navy blue =D), professionally installed and painted. Guesstimating $3k.

Wheels. This includes a set of 4 15" winter tires and rims, and a set of 4 16" performance-oriented tires and rims (chrome probably). Guesstimating somewhere in the neighborhood of $2k.

Performance. The cheapest part, I'm only going for an I/E setup, I like a show car over a fast car.. just my opinion. So that's around $700. (GReddy SP2 =D)

Final Touches. This is just stuff that I'll do if I feel like it after doing everything else.. like.. if I really think I should put more into her after all this. Includes JDM Tails, Z-Rated tires, neons, other random unnecessary stuff. No real price, its a long list.

Thing is though, this is taking place over the next two years, so it balances out nicely. $6-7k over two years isn't bad IMO. I'll probably run into some unforeseen engine problem or get in an accident or something and this will all be messed up, but you understand heh.
