HOW MUCH DID U SPEND on YOUR CAR?!?!
$5 silicone - for clearing headlights
$25 socket wrench set - for messing with car
$173 InJen Short Ram Intake for more noise. duh.
$35 OBX Type R Silver Pedal set felt like wasting money and buying something for car
total: $238 told myself not to waste anymore money on car. Stopped buying and looking at car stuff for months as I realize performance is hard to get from this car.
Months later more car parts out. Urge rising. Uh oh.
$96.93 Neuspeed rear lower tie-bar *polished* couldnt stand the unstable rear suspension. Hoping this will help.
$27.13 KumoSport DirectShift conversion kit wanted to buy something. Anything. lol.
$16 torque wrench - for messing with car with better precision
$107.75 Neuspeed front upper tie bar *black powder coated* got the rear tie, might as well get the front, no?
$19.95 Neuspeed front anti-sway bar bushing kit hey, why not?
Total $505.76 OUCH
So how much have u guys spend? Lets not add in the amount of gas I spend. sigh. If I spend over 4 grand, I'm gonna kill myself. cuz that means I could have got an RSX or something better.
I'm thinking leather interior from that group buy, or DVD player. hmmm.

Rep Power: 0 Hey,
Well, buying stuff for you car doest equate into "I could've got a higher priced car" because you would be doing the same thing to the RSX and would say I could've got a M3 and so on.... Plus the insurance and monthly payment are lower with a cheaper car. Anyway,
Progress Lowering Springs - $115.00
Indiglo Lighted Pedals - $39.99
Axis Touring Cup Rims - $800.00
Federal 17 Inch Tires Z Rated - $360.00
Injen Cold Air Intake - $180.00
APC Gen II Taillights - $165.00
20% Tint - $130.00
Kugo Muffler - $80.00
Total - $1869.99
By 3 months it should be well over $3000.00, with a body kit and audio coming up.
Oh well.....

I can't believe i've spent this much! WTF am i doing???
I wonder, if I had to do it all again, if I would spend this much. I wan't into modding my car before I got it. I didn't know anything at all about cars. I guess the knowledge is worth something and I really like my system but there isn't $2000 of added performance on the car... hmmm.
oh well... the economy needs the help and it look nice too, right?!?

Rep Power: 0 Yea, I am starting to think that I may as well save the money and buy something else. Although, I know I would do the same thing with the new car and thus, end up spending more money.
