Just how much have you spent??

I've just done a quick mental calculation of what I've spent on my car and was wondering what the average aftermarket spend currently is.

I've probably spent about $2500 total on stuff that didn't come with the car... Everything from glovebox organizer to wheels and tires to a swaybar... Hopefully more to come

Whatever.

I hadn't fully considered the dealer options, however, outside of "standard options" there are things like aerokits etc that maybe should be included.

I should have some pics by the end of next week. The car is due at the dealers on Monday. So once they have done their stuff I'll post some pics of the wheels for you.

In the meantime have a look at this thread in the MCS forum
