I wish this thread didn't appear and cause me to add it all up but I'm at $8100 with just stuff I can remember

Toms Kit
Joe z intake/exhaust
PPE headers (install/sensors/gaskets)
PSS tires
then all the miscellaneous cosmetic stuff

Wish I had only spent 700 now like VJ haha But over 4 years of ownership, I guess it adds up. Oh and I just more crap the other day! Cuz a TRD oil cap and radiator cap give 5hp extra right?

At the time,

Intake
Headers
Exhaust
Nitrous
Diffuser
Nav hack
New street tires
Drag rims/tires
8k

Pocket change in comparison to the almost 30k on the GT-R, but much more power.

Wow some of you guys that are in the double digits...crazy I didn't even realize there were that many mods to do to the car to add up that quickly unless you have multiple sets of rims.

So far I've spent a measly $600 on a Sikky rear sway bar, LED DRLs, and a thinkdesign CF shift ****.

hrmm... bought the car used in February 2012

Bought:
Joe Z Intake and Tom's Filter used: $150
Borla Catback: $840 + $120 install
Garax 6k bulbs used: $40
Carking Roofspoiler & Wald Replica: $350?
Wearever Brake Pads (sitting in the box still): $85
Spare OEM rear wheel: $100

Total: $1950 Not as bad as I thought, but more than I thought... don't have the budget to play with mods since having a baby killed that fund.

When I first got my F, I was telling myself NOT to mod it at all. It's great stock. Then I found Club Lexus...

I'm probably with most of who've modded their Fs in terms of spending. But the creations do look mad sick throughout the process, as evident by some of the build threads on the forums. A big thanks to all the F owners in making this community as informative (and with pics) to help everyone out with mods and helpful tips.

My other hobby is detailing, and I know many of the owners have spent quite a bit keeping these beasts clean and fresh over the years. Although it really isn't a mod, keeping an F clean certainly can drain one's funds as well.
