Chrome 18's, Tires = $2000
Eibach Prokit & Install $300
Audio System = $1,700 (in dash not yet installed)
Clear corners, lights, etc... = $150
so, I'd say around... $4150

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.

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
