just wanted to get an idea of how much everyone has spent on their TL's so far.
i've spent around 3000

grishulia

Good for you... I've spent about... ahhh let me think.... $59.99 for the Autolock... and about $30 for the new CD's...

------------------
Just my 2 cents...

UW RL

I haven't spent any money on the car except some waxing compound. My next mod is definitely springs...

------------------


Silver 2000 TL w/ Nav.
Future mods? maybe...

Stylin Silver Sled

too much...
most likely around $4,000 to $5,000. It would have been more if I didnt have connections with stereo people and wheel people.

------------------
Factory body kit, factory rear wing, Comptech sport exhaust, Comptech sport lowering springs, Weapon-R intake, 18" OZ Nova Modular rims, Sony TV tuner, Sony Mobile ES receiver, Santeca 6.5" TV monitor, Sony PlayStation, JL Audio XR 6 1/2 inch components in the front doors, 6" JL coaxil speakers in the rear doors, (2) JL Audio 12" W6 subwoofers. MMATS DC1200 amp for the subs, MMATS LM2525 for the mids and highs, Phoenix Gold Zeropoint crossover, Phoenix Gold Zeropoint distribution block, lots and lots of Monster Cable, neon lighting.

Comptech headers, Koni rear struts, brake upgrade and Inspire tail lights to come in the not so distant future.

Red Hot TL

good for you, too. Spent around $500. Don't have much money on mod.

1999TL

Damn, I don't even want to add it up. Just all my stereo junk is a few G's. Damn, I'll add it up later. I'd say well over 5K. oh well, it's only money.

bahreeTL

GUYS, you should not regret spending all that money hooking up your cars!

stylin silver sled: thank god for hookups...i could use one once in a while.

look at them now, they look phat as hell. people are turning heads and girls dig it! i haven't even gotten to the exterior of the car yet. i'm gonna save rims and performance for next summer. for now, i'm gonna concentrate on GC & konis.

hopefully we'll get some more TL meets in the future, especially when my car is near completion!

GOOD LUCK with everyone's whip!

$7, plus tax. I bought a license plate bracket to hide the ragged edges of my 12-year-old plate. (I won't get new plates becuase if I do, I need to add a front one.)

When the tires wear out in 3 years, I'll buy a good set of all-season sport tires. I'm looking forward to that!

Does wax count?

I have no interest in anything that would change the exterior appearance, and I think the interior (especially the black) would look better with less wood, not more. I've got my audiophile stereo at home, where it belongs.

But, hey, you guys have fun!

I have a practical question. What happens when you have an accident and some of these custom modded things need to be replaced? Are they covered by the insurance?

I've heard that after market parts are covered as long as you have the receipts. I suppose that's the closest you can get to proving that you indeed had the parts on the car. That's just what I've heard. I've never asked my insurance agent about it... so you might want to ask him/her and double check.

WEll, so far I've spent almost $44K on the car itself w/ interest from the bank. That includes taxes, title, destination and all that crap the dealer adds to the car.

As far as after market, I spent $22 bucks on wax and cleaners and $10 bucks on car wash - was in a hurry(brushless).

Well I plan on spending this week:

Wood dash kit: 200 (intstalled)
