$ Spent to date??
probably $6500 round about. Both my accidents (not caused by me; but oil patches on the road and deer do not have insurance) cost around $2g-$3g each time.
Probably less than $2000 on modifications. Most expensive add-ons: $250 Pioneer 12CDchanger, $400 on used rims, $400 on new tires, $150 Viper alarm, and other stuff ranging from $30-$100 each after put on the car (power options, painted euro grill, halo projectors, etc)
geez it adds up in the end. It's hard too satisfy this DX owner.
but the projects are fun!

I would rather have been hit by another car, than the **** that messed up my car (a deer, and a few months later a patch of oil). Of course, I would never do anything bad to my car like hitting another car. Both of my accidents weren't caused by me.

Rep Power: 0 around 5,000. thats 2 sets of rims and tires, and Si wheels and tires. then the rest is just the normal, exhaust, intake, lowering springs/camber kit/ install, grill, tint, spoiler, foglights (oem-that **** gets expensive) and some other ****.
why did you get OEM fogs???
you can get exact OEM replica's for like half the price. Part of the reason I haven't spent much is I have to spend like two months searching for the best price for each part.
