How much have you spent so far?

[RockXP]

I saw the thread where everyone is mentioning there next mods and it made me wonder how much have you guys spend on your mods/accessories so far and how much will you spend next year?

[hendrix8989]

I spent 150 dollars for my Avalon rims and 10 dollars for my exhaust tip

On a depreciating asset, maybe mediocre at best?

5900 for me.

[toyotaoem09]

a little over $1000 in just 4 months that I have my car
I think that by the same time of next year I will be spending more that $7000

I feel bad enough shelling out close to $30K (with taxes and fees and BS) for my new Camry. It would be easy to spend thousands more on mods, but I try to remind myself how silly it would be if I did. Why not just get a better car in the first place? This question always reigns me in from spending big bucks.

That said, I've spent about $400 in car-care products (orbital polisher, waxes, sealants, cleaning stuff, etc.), $500 for VentureShield, and $200 for my XenonDepot HIDs (which still don't work properly yet ). If I had to look into a crystal ball and guess my future expenses, I might:

1. Upgrade the rims when I need new tires ~$1000
2. Get an intake/exhaust when my warranty expires (don't want to hear any BS from the dealer or Toyota if I run into a problem; tranny is already on the fritz at less than 4K miles) ~$500
3. Get "proper" HIDs ~$450

LED taillights ~$280
Spare headlights ~$80
DS2 bulbs #1 ~$50
DS2 bulbs #2 & harness ~$80
Ballast ~$200
TSX retrofit ~$400
LEDs ~$70
Viper 5701 + trunk solenoid + XK05 + tints + install ~$700
Valentine 1 ~$400
V1 concealed display + led mod ~$80

Plus a bunch of misc items...I probably spent about $2,500

There's a better car out there than a camry?? hahaha... Unless it's an exotic car... I'd mod just about any car I get... so it wouldn't matter if its a civic or a camry or a c350... it'd be modified
