Default How much have you spent in modding your 2IS?

I just did a quick calculation about those mods I have done to my 2IS.

I got my 2IS in Dec 2005, and so far I have spent around 10K USD

10K USD in 20 months.

Maybe I should stop spending money in my 2IS this year

$20 for a car seat leather protector.

I'd rather pay for my daughter's college and retire early by investing intelligently. I'm weird I guess.

10k? Why not have just saved for the IS-F? lol.

I've spent about 5-6k so far, if the bodykit deal works out, then maybe 8k.

I'm one to speak I guess.. lol

Yeah, I know, lame...but I figure it doesn't deteriorate or need to be reapplied (ala armor-all, or leather cleaner) so it is as much a mod as new bulbs for the interior lights....though not as popular.

Let's see: intake, wheels, clear bra, tint, little things like lighting mods, and a CL sticker: about $2k only. I'm not a mod freak...
