me and my gf have spent about 760 i think, i installed my subwoofers and amp from my previous car, and then we got the windows tinted to 35%.
we are going to lower it next, the springs i want are about 200 dollars and then i am gonna get an air intake, so that will bring it up to about 1150 or somthing. then i am gonna paint some interior pieces myself so maybe 50 or so for the paint and sandpaper.
that is about all that is going to be done right now i think.

Seriously, the money goes like water. I'm still
that I have spent so much. On the positive side my insurance is low, the ride is hot, and replacement parts are not as expensive. Also its priceless when someone in a G35, BMW, RX8, 350Z, etc look over and their jaw just drops.
i went over teh 11k mark today. bought a car adapter for the ps2 (i cant get rid of the crazy electrical noise from the crappy inverter brick im currently using), some tidbits from oznium, and a new front lip. still have to get the lip painted so that'll be another 50 bucks.
and to think in the comming months i've got another couple thousand to drop *sigh*

I have already spent well over 7500 dollars and this Friday, I am about to add on another 6000 dollars worth of parts. 
p.s. the first 7500 dollars was spent the first six months I owned the car, the 6000 dollars will be spent this Friday. My car isn't even 8 months old since I bought it brand new from the dealership....boy do I blow a lot of money
P.S. I ALSO HAVE A TWIN BROTHER WHO HAS A 2007 BLACK tC LIKE ME WHO HAS DONE THE SAME THING AND WILL DO THE SAME THING THIS FRIDAY!!!
15000 dollars spent plus another 12000 dollars this Friday yikes
