$2500 for rebuilt engine
$380 for body kit
$50 z3 fenders
$250 to paint Z3s
$500 hood
$320 for CF lip
$1200 for rims/tires
$100 to fix lthr seat
$150 for rotors
$200 for header
$50 for intake
$1000 for 5spd swap

$50 for taillights
$50 cd player
$250 for tires now sittingin garage from stock wheels
$400 to fix front end and paint
$60 for headlight vents

= $12,465 out my my pocket

insur has forked out-

$3500 to pay off car when totaled
$800 to fix fender bender
$2850 for paint and body work from wreck last month

=$7,150

Car has $19,615 in it in last 2.5 years and aint worth $4,000 with salvaged title and im still dropping money into it..I know its got over $20k, I just cant come up with "everything" right now..

THIS ISNT A THREAD TO PROVOKE OTHER PEOPLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY'VE SPENT AND TO TRY AND BEAT ME... :rolleyes:

This further lets me know not to put any money into my car :)

Good thing I don't plan to. Maybe the next car though.

thats really crazy.....but i bet 50 percent of the people on this board has close to that in their cars. those mods sart adding up quick, i probly had about 12k in mine including the car, but ive started selling parts off of it and im getting a pretty good return. think about it mark, you could have had a down payment on a decent house, and out of your parents house!

Car...(26500) still paying it off
Equipment for the system... (4000)
Electrical Upgrades.... (1000)
Tint....(200)
Wheels/Tires.....2200 new (1,000 from a friend)
Sound Deadener...70
Valentine One......400

6,670 in mods.

Ive still spent a little on the Jeep but nothing major. Mostly stuff I just wanted.
Lift and tires, system: $750
Sensors, maintenance: $400 New brakes, IAC, MAP, TPS, tie rods...

Oil Changes- 19.99 x 3
A/C Re-Charge - $30
Tire Rotation/Balance - $20
I don't count the audio stuff, since I had it already.

thats why i quit modding the 200. if i sold it i would be lucky to get 4000 as it sits. if i parted it (which i dont want to do) i could get more. it's just not worth it.i just want ome wheels and a grille for the altima
