how much do u have invested in ur 3G TL
i have noticed a lot of us 3G TL owners have insane amounts of money invested into our cars.
I was jus chatting with my younger cuzzin who just turned sixteen and got his new miata and he loves my car especially after he seen everything done. he then asked how much all this cost and n i began calculating in my head. after adding up a few things i decided to stop. Damn i have too much into this car.
Purpose of this post is to get an idea of how much you have invested into ur cars.
Rules:
Do not post what the car costed you.
maintenance or services done to the vehical dont count.
include music, exhaust, intakes, exteriors mods, interior mods ect..

I bought the car with comptech springs, 18 inch a-spec wheels, a-spec body kit and mirror tint (I would have done all of that too). So that would be about have been about $1500 (considering the traded up wheels and that I probably paid more for the car than a standard TL with nothing on it). I myself bought the stock 17s and put snow tires on them - $800 (Michigan necessity). I bought the USASpec iPod adaptor - $100 (best thing ever). That's it. There isn't anything else I want to do. So all in say about $2400
