More than I care to admit.

I'll let you guys do the math on the following: Borla cat-back exhaust, Canzoomer mid-pipe, K&N intake, JIC coil-overs, SS brake/clutch lines, Carbotech brake pads (street & track sets), winter rims/tires, summer rims/tires, Canzoomer piggy-back ECU, Greddy Support tool, CANscan, laptop, Gtech Competion Pro, Alpine FM modulator, V1 remote display, Infinity Basslink, Infinity tweeters, etc... There were a few more things but I'm drawing a blank and that is not including track days & safety equipment.

The only thing I have done to my G sedan is tinting the back three windows, which took about $90 to do.

So far the bill is about $13,500 (yes, you read it right -- $13K).

Of course, that's just to fix the damage caused by a moron who rear-ended me on the freeway.

Nothing besides double car payments for me. I just want to get the car paid off before I do any mods. Because I hate paying interest. But my wife might get me a Borla exhaust for Christmas.

I've only spent around $450... didn't want to get to crazy during the first year... I plan on a new exhaust next year, along with an upgrade to the suspension....
