Probably under 1K on my is250. I just can't do it like in the 80's anymore. After investing about 15K on my 1987 Toyota mini truck (did anybody have one then?) Remember all the chromed parts, 12" deep dish wheels, custom interior front and rear. Not to mention all the hydrolics involved and sound system. All that money I invested on my cool ride but all vanished in one minute when I got carjacked at gun point. Never again will I invest that much money in any of my rides again.

It really did! When somebody really wants your ride because they know what's worth or how much you probably have invested in it, they will take it no matter what the consequences might be. To make the story short, back then, I took it very serioursly, but now, I kind of laugh about it with my friends because this guy that carjacked me made me and this girl I had in my truck get off the truck, then take off our clothes (all), he made me jump this fence in the woods and took the girl with him. We were at a park right after dark no people around (yeah) I was trying to score but it cost me. Anyway, the girl was found about an hour later naked but she was not harmed in any way. I did not care about any material things, but I was sick worried about the girl. I never saw her again. I don't blame her! My truck? All stripped too.
Be careful guys! Watch for cars following you to the gas station, grocery store, even home. Don't resist if anything similar ever happens to any of you. I hope not. It is not a good feeling. I know!

On the Lexus, not much...new BFG KDW tires, yellow tint, redouts, 3k HID in the garage ready to install, a K&N drop-in, and an ipod charger/audio cable.
Now, I did drop $12k on a my 'ol Civic. Bulletproof 1.6L motor and turbo setup...made 423whp on only 21lbs on E85. Oh, only rev'd to 7k too! Sold this project to get the Lex. I do miss it though.

However, I wasted so much in mods that I later got tired of.
