I hope im not being too blunt, but i was just wondering how much everyone has spent on their ride. if u could or want make a list. if this offends people...sorry.
 
Bought mine new in July 2003. $48 K sticker. 43K out the door with a 5 year 0% financing from Ford. No money down.
Needless to say, 2 years into it I am way upside down. :soapbox:

Fortunatley I plan on keeping it for a while :Beer
 
im talking about aftermarket. such as mods, rims, stereo. all that kind of stuff, sorry i should have explained
 
That is how much i spent. JK. I dont want to calculate the aftermaket mods value. But its not as much as others.
 
wow i just calculated mine, and i am close to the 7 grand mark! never knew i put that much into it, but i guess the little things add up right? and i have had the car for 3 years now...
 
I think I am around $1400 or so for my wheels, grille, drop, exhaust. I think that is all I have bought.

Although, I do have about another $1200 in audio that I have not installed yet. Gonna start putting it all in soon when I save up some more money to buy my subs/box/installs.
 
its my question i think i should answer it. now lets see.
i right at 3000, and that without all the money ive spent getting this thing fixed, now that a whole new thread.
 
180 bucks for tint =D Just got my LS last month.....does 30 bucks worth of car washing stuff count ;p omg and the gas!
 
95 continental
bough for 43,000 new
talking when dad got it he gave it to me last year
but just in the last 13 months iv spent about 6,000 on keeping it maintained and running good
 
My 99 tc was 9300..
58k on it.

Show off! :N
 
well, I recently purchased my new "Type-R" sticker, and put that on the rear next to the LS logo. That adds about 30 hp alone. and it was only like $5. Then I got a "Powered by Acura" windshield sticker to go across the top. That probably put me up another 50 hp. I looked at the Lincoln, and some others, but in the end, the Acura gave me the best bang for the buck. Now the kicker. I have "DUAL" Mugen stickers on the rear, as well as some eibach/edlebrock/brembo/JDM stickers on the driver side rear valence. Now, I only spent like $40 all together for this equipment, but I figure I'm looking somewhere in the 500-600hp range. Basically I can smoke anything on the street, ya know? Oh, I also have my "Maxwell House Special" Flowmaster tips. I have 4 tips just to make sure the engine can breathe as it needs to, because that adds another like, I don't know, 300hp or something. Anyways, needless to say, I can smoke anyone, anytime, anywhere. In the works is a special spoiler that sits about 4 feet above my trunk, and adds another 70hp and keeps me glued to the road even at speeds below 100 mph, as well as a few extra exhaust cutouts with no tips in them, cause that adds like 10hp each. Other than that, I've been doing some repair work on my Si sticker, because it started to peal when I was doing like 300mph down the highway. The sticker should be out of the shop in a few weeks, and then watchout I'll be back to full power!!! :ricesmile :slam :slam :slam
