How much have you spent on upgrades?

The shop where I ordered my Eibachs springs just called. They have them. I will drop of my car today after work and I will be picking it up tomorrow. They are also going to tint my windows. I've had my car for 11 weeks and I have already spent about 5k upgrading its look and I'm not even half way done. LoL

How much have you guys spent upgrading?

I cannot seem to stop spending money upgrading. It's like a domino affect. Once you start, you can't, you can't, you can't STOP!

Who else has this problem?

Took delivery of the SST Camaro last June. It was here for 10 days before leaving for upgrades. It has been in permanent upgrade mode since. Yeah, you might consider that a problem...

I am around $4200 and that is just little cosmetic stuff, like painted stripes clear bra, custom engine cover emblem, exhaust and powder coated calipers. I still have to get rotors, brake pads, new rims, sways, springs, upgrade some of the lighting, and maybe eventually twin turbo if it ever happens. I think I can spend another 8-12 thou easy to get it exactly the way I want it.
