I dont regret spending the money, but i regret doing the intake manifold after the findings. Happens when your the ginipig of the group sometimes. Its a great mod if your straight NA but it hurts big time in the world of nitrous.

no regret.. loved every mods so far. Also it’s not like you’re never going to see the money back, well at least some of it once you resell it.. I would say at least 60-70% back if I ever decided to part out. ..

ISFpat's number doens't really count. He bought the car partially modded with rims and suspension. That's held him off for awhile. If the car was stock, I know he'd put at least rims and suspension first then probably wouldn't mod for awhile.

i've probably spent less than $2k on this car. borla exhaust, install, new floor mats, touch up paint, cleaning products, etc.

i spent over $10k on my previous g35 (coilovers, BBK, exhaust, wheels, etc.). but w/ the F, i felt like it kind of already had everything i would have changed out. and my previous ride was pretty low and although it looked good, it was just a pain in the *** to go anywhere and my wife hated it lol so, decided to just keep the F ride height stock and not worry about flipping my tires every 5k miles.

Highly doubtful. If it wasn't for the stock tires worn out on the stock wheels I would of been happy to sell my current wheels and rock them for a while.

Either I mod the car 100% or nothing at all. But the car came like that so I decided to keep it that way.

Wow, hated to find the end number! Bought my car new 15 months ago and I'm right at $9000. That includes tires, labor, floor mats, protective film, stereo, headers, exhaust, suspension, ect. Thanks vbb for reminding us! Heck, I only spent $1500 on the GT-R and was over 500awhp.

I assume you mean 5-figure guys? Because it looks like there are plenty who have spent $10,000+.

I have spent probably around $7-$10K (average) for mods on just about every car I had owned since my early 20's. That being said, I've never had regrets about spending that money while I owned the car, but they always come when it's time to sell the car and I only end up getting back pennies on the dollar for what I put into it.
