as i was driving today i thought about all the stuff i bought for my car and how much they cost. so just wondering... how much money have you guys spent on your car after you bought it? not counting basic maintenance and what-not. i bought my car for $5000. and so far i've spent about $2146 during the 1 year and 6 months i've had my car.

Damn Madmods!
Well I've spent a fortune on my car too,
and it looks pretty much standard.
I've spent close to $AUS7,500, could be more.
Thats not including the Varis Arising II bodykit ($3000)
and maintenance.
It hurts to look back and work out how much you spent
on your car. But I dont mind spending money on something
I enjoy and love smile.gif

JDM tails $350

Zyclone CF hood $635
Rims and tires $900
Brembo cross drilled rotors $220

Tons of other things. I'm guessing all together excluding the cost of the
