I just put all my car parts in an Microsoft Excel spreasheet and started entering prices from the receipts and the number freaked me out. I bought the car for $5000 in Oct.2004 and my parts total is $13,456.00 and this is without labor prices too. I am looking into a turbo kit as well. So i guess i can say i am an "Ultimate SC freak".
But dont tell this to my wife, she'll kill me.

my dear lexus friends, spending the most money is not a good way to measure ones love for such a beautiful car.
take me for an instance
inatke (minor changes, stock is pretty good): 0
exhaust system (sebring mufflers + resonators full 3"stainless dual): 0
DVD /navigation/ stereo: 0
all interior light changes to cold cathode (courtesy of old broken scanners): 0
comming (on order):
4x 18 + rubber wheels for < 500CDN
also helps if your friend writes for a magazine

so far between 15k to 20k as it sits now. and still workin' on it.
i say between 15 & 20 because some stuff i either got for wholesale or bought used, so it cannot reflect the retail value.
oh yeah....labor is not included.

BTW, you can add a little bit to my tab:
Remanufactured P/S pump: $75 off clublexus vendor
Installation done today: $130 MD motors
Not bad... this could have potentially have been WELL over 500 at a lexus dealer.
