I haven't counted exactly, but about $30K. Well, this is what I would have put into the car if it werent' for sponsorships. Quick list of mods is

Custom paint and bodywork, body kit
Supercharger/NOS/Y-Pipe/Custom Exhaust
TV's, VCR/DVD/PS2/custom stereo
Custom interior with Corbeau seats
Custom Aluminum interior trim (all custom made for the car)
19"s, ground controls, tokicos, addco.
Lots of neon, custom painted engine bay

and right now, a custom LSD for the auto and custom axles are being built for the car.

Stereo equipment from vendors that I deal with at work (contests, giveaways, doing favors for something they need maybe a big screen at cost or something). Suspension, performance stuff from customers I met at work that are connected in the industry.

If you include four Kuhmo tires, then about $440. That number should increase this year.

So far just $5k, when stillen makes the supercharger available for the 2k Auto, then that number will double or triple. Brake upgrade coming soon add $1k. The ultimate sleeper is to get better.

Not in the real near future, but hopefully sometime not too far down the road. I have people who want to shoot the car, but I just have to get it ready first. All this stuff is just sitting in my garage and I don't have time to install it. The car should be ready in a few weeks to photograph, and then I'm not sure how long it will take to actually get to a magazine.
