Money spent on aftermarket parts
#41
Im at $21K give or take a few thousand
and thats for mods on all my cars starting with my 02' cls auto to the 03' cls 6 spd and the 02' clk430
that is just for the mods doesnt include installation which isnt much anyways
but I will say all my mods on both cl-s had great resale value so when I sold got most of my money back so subtract $5k from price
not bad about $5 K per car probably less
the worst mod are tires cause they have no resale value...best are Comptech headers and Ice-box....Comptech springs and Koni yellows have great resale value.
most of my money has gone to wheels which are easy to take off and sell so I dont feel that bad...but putting nice tires on you just cant get your money back

I certainly do not want to win this contest, but interestingly, I just added mine up this morning, as I need to yet again spend a little more! I too feel better now knowing that I am not alone in this lunacy!
03 TW CLS 6 speed + $16,696 (including stereo, mod costs, and installation).
Subtract $3800 if you want to separate the stereo out of it. I would argue that all of my mods are for go, not show, though. Hey that rhymes!

still a Masshole
Not too much:
Tint - $200
OBX Headers - $400
Used set of RPM2 wheels - $620
New set of tires ~ $500
Icebox - free (friends got it for me as a b-day gift)
rear white blinkers - $5
Zaino - 200+
about $1925+. Not much more I need/want for now except pullies and unichip but rather get a home and save for an M5 (cuz I hear dinan stuff is expensive!).

I added up everything that is on my car or will be installed in the very near future.
So far, it's approximately $25,690. I'll break the $30,000 mark once I buy the brake kit and rims/tires.
