$ spent on your car, rough guestimate Options

[Phat_99CeliGT]

if i were to add up what i spent on JUST the last 2 years, it was about $10k.

adding up since i bought the car in 01, somewhere over $30k including the $16k i paid for the car.

my sig shows the different stages i went thru.

[hitcachi]

haha! I loved your little movie thing on car domain that shows the stages and last days of your celi. Nice touch.

[j0e_p3t]

just thought i'd update this thread since i've been bought quite a few new parts for my car in the past few months. so far i've spent about $856 plus the $2156 in my first post back in april. so my new total is $3012. and i still have to install some of the exterior stuff so that's gonna cost even more. just wondering how much you've guys spent lately. plus i'm sure some of the new members bought some new stuff after learning where to get them from this site.

i bought my 98 for 5500, and it already had the exhaust on it, the only things i bought for it was the streo system and i got that used so it was only like 200 for the head unit, subs, box and amp, i would put a bunch more things on mine but i dont got the extra cash right now , otherwise shed look sweet if i did.

I've had my car about a month and i've spent close to about 700 dollars on a car I got for 2500... When i bought it it needed new tires, and i didnt get them right away so when one blew, it cracked the rim... SO new rims came shortly after the purchasing of the car, then CAI which I did myself, tires and this all doesnt mention the 500 dollar stereo. Pretty much Im living from check to check to buy more stuff.
