you know what this topic is BUNK... why do you want us to think about how much we spent... its very depressing, 40 here couple hundred there, throw in a couple G's every so often...

BUT YOU KNOW~

its not about how much you spend, its about how wisely you spend it

About $1500. All F sport stuff. No need for anything else. It's complete. That's it. I'm done. No more. It's finished. No more. Please.


Seriously.


That's it.






Done.









For real.

MAYBE $20.00 between red-outs and plastidip?

If you count ceramic pads, $120 total.

For some reason, I haven't caught the mod bug with my IS. My 03 Cobra on the other hand was 3-4k in 9 months.

too much to wanna think about, plus all the tires i have bought for different wheels. although i traded for wheels. My gs is turning into its own little money vortex. coils are getting picked up tomorrow. also plan on getting my buddies prerrunner ranger and im doing a motor swap and long travel. these threads always die in a day or so because not everyone wants to let everyone know what they spend their money on.
