How much have you spent on mods?

I was trying to see what further mods I wanted to do and it keeps piling up. The list goes on and on. I have set my limit to 4k . I have already spent like $3400 on it. Being right out of college $3400 is a lot of money to spend on a car. (wheels/tire and kit being the bulk of it)

I just wanted to how much have you guys spent modding?

...Hey how do the tein s.tech springs handle w/ the Tok Blues? Are they bouncy at all? I have heard that it seems the Blues are the least damped aftermarket for Max, can they handle the high spring rate of the Teins? I am curious because I love my H&R's, but the Tein is even lower and I have to get my struts and shocks done eventually anyway, so I was thinking I would do Teins while I was at it and sell my H&Rs used for super cheap to someone...

They handle great. Bumpy as hell the 1st week but it doesnt bother me anymore. It can get bump on rough roads but the trade off of how it looks and handles is worth it IMO.

Lighting: All the light, interior, exterior,ect.. $160 approx

Performance: Stillen Hi-Flow Intake $195
Stillen Y-pipe $310
DEI Exhaust heat wrap $50
Frankencar Midpipe $55
MagnaFlow muffler(isntalled) $250
Cattman B-pipe $260
Suspension: Stillen Front Strut Bar $150
Tein springs $175
Tokico Blues $310
Cosmetic: Stillen AeroKit(installed) $1034.25
Tint $180
Tires : Yokohama AVS ES100 235/45 $500 installed

Total: $3629.25

Probably missing a few things but ehhh, not bad considering what I got done. Overall with installs, tax, ect... some1 else would have paid well over 5K+ for what Ive got. So im not sweatin it.

I'm only lightly infected - something like $600 on the Max. But unfortunately, the total for bike stuff is a different story...
