dust- I dont see any way you could have put that much into your car... it dosent add up.

3.0style- $700 on the engine? what did you do? and $1500 on the drop, what kind of problems did you have?

I have $1200 in rims/tires, $120 springs, $300 shocks, $500 cat-back, $200 cat, $250 headers, $200 intake, $100 ignition, $150 shifter, $150 interior, $1800 system, $250 lights... and im not done yet.

$5220 roughly.

I think it can add up really quick a good set of rims & tires & a nice sound system can put you up to $4000 really quick... I am over 4 grand & I havent really done that much yet...

Fog lights $125; gold kit $270; leather shifter $45; mud guards $25; Zex (plugs/pressure guage/purge kit) $585; bottle warmer $75; Venom $270; CAI; $75; 180-amp alternator $160; exhaust $240; Pro-Kit $150; AGX shocks $350; new bump stops, lower shock mounting bolts $100 [look up the price from the dealer]; new rear arms (couldn't do alignment because they were frozen) $550; alignment; $75; rotors and PBR pads $235; wheels & tires $1200; "Acura" symbol tire-valve caps $10; black caliper kit $20; HIDs $350; 9005s/168s $55; Clear bumper lenses $45; PIAA H3s $55; amber 7440s $5; custom burlwood $150; burlwood kit for steering wheel $35; indiglo gauges (purchased over a year ago) $75; CD changer and cord $230; JBL subs/sub box/amp/Infinity components/Infinity 6x9s $500; Acura leather CD case x 2 $36; Acura 7 CD magazine storage case $25; Acura 6-CD magazine x 3 $45 = $6066.

Installation on all electrical items (done by my Uncle and I cost me about $250). Installation on springs/shocks (done twice), alternator, and rotors cost me about another $250.

I'm on my 3rd Intake (2 short rams) and my current CAI. The short rams cost me about $150, and are sitting in my basement.

None of the above includes shipping (except for the tire/rims), so that why I mentioned between $6500 and $7000.

It does add up!

BTW: If you price everything above at retail, add at least $1000. I've got most of my stuff from eBay. Just looking at the stereo components alone, I doubt you can get NEW Infinity speakers (front and rear), 2 JBL 12" subs, a 1400-watt amp, and a sub box for $500 retail [but who pays retail, right].

Damn, I've put too much $$$ in this car.

I have spent too much money aswell, atleast for how long Ive had the car, I really need to slow down a bit

but as for $700 to the engine, Ive got intake, my dual exhaust, and MSD with wires,

and as for lowerin it, I had to replace a bad ball joint for one, then shocks and coilovers are expensive (I should have done them at the same time but I waited on the shocks), and with all the camber kits I had to buy and keep goin to the place cause the camber kits were the wrone one, its was a headache

well i just found this thread and thought i'd give some input on what i've got invested
holy shit, i've had this car for 4 years and i added it up to $6948
that's not including paint and bodywork that's still not done and all the maintenance and acute symptoms like the window regulator twice and i paid for the egr to get cleaned and i'm probably forgetting some things
the majority is into my system which i added to 3550 with a mediocre install done all by me
all that $ and i don't think i've broken into the low 16's yet, my car is SLOW
