Default how much have you guys spent on your GS?

I was just wondering ..lately I've gone on some what of a spending spree for mods and honestly I dont think my car is going to look much different from when it went to the shop...I ve added a couple of thing here and there nothing major but still I have spent a nice amount of money on my car ...so im figuring some of you guys have probably spent 3X as much ....just want to know what the amount of money you guys have spent so here's the poll

Im only at the 6500 mark and I know I have a long way to go

I spent about 3k - 4k already. But by the end of the year you can put me up there near the 10k group.

$15K - $20K for me.

When I think about it, it blows my mind that I actually spent that much in mods rather than doing something more responsible like paying down debt.

It sure is priceless.

i think jeff (tturbopimp) and i are in the same ball park...quick summary

1st major mod - t/c, rmm lsd, srt intake, exhaust (mufflers only) $4k
2nd major - rmm s/c - all in with multiple pulley changes, fuel pump upgrade, tunings etc - $10k
wheels - $3.5k
coilovers, sways & install $1.5k
rmm front & rear bumpers $1k
custom exhaust - $1.5k
race built tranny $3.5k
trd lsd + install $1.2k

3rd major mod (in progress)
srt tt kit - $5k
engine parts (pistons, bearings, rods {still waiting on these - it's been 12 weeks}, injectors, fuel management - $5k
rebuild engine ???
install tt kit???

some of this is offset by sale of items (srt intake, rmm lsd, rmm s/c) approx. $5k back for all - there are several odds & ends that add up to a few thousand, but after this exercise i don't really want to think about them...

Talking

I am now clearly in the 15K-20K range especially now that the LSD & PI TC have been added. I can honestly say it was money well spent and I have no complaints.
