How Much have you Spent in Mods?

Reading lots of posts (daily), and looking at your rides I see many of you are not content to leave these cars stock, and probably have a good bit of "aftermarket change" invested. Ever figure out what you have tied up in "goodies", dollar wise? Looks like I'm liable to catch the same disease since I really want sways and headers, and I'm sure it won't end there. (Even a 30 thousand dollar car isn't enough LOL!)

Wow..........now I really feel like a cheapskate. However, I began "priming" my wife for 18" rims when these tires get a little more worn and I get really tired of these 10 holed aftermarket "temp" rims! I also told her my car needs more power-to prove it I passed a car last night on a short stretch-and it was shall we say, a little tight! "Now sweetie, with headers and a K&N............."

Messrs. Moderators:

"I" seem to have misplaced some of my responses in this post. Do you know where they went? A "yes" or "no" answer will suffice....

$600 Spoiler (installed)
$450 V1 (self-installed)
$75 Solaris 9005 hibeams

On the chopping block (mostly performance stuff so I can whip Mike - 'cause I swear I have a faster car, stock --:

--CAI intake (sorry, I'm waiting - not giving into the 'custom' pressure)
--Springs (soon as Mike gives me a test ride)
--Sways (same time as the springs)
--Konis (though I'm still lookin' at Apex Coilovers)
--18" rims/wheels (when I need to replace my current tires - will be chockin' up rims to a needy TL person)...
