How much have you spent on modifications?
 
Following a pretty good thread on the 996TT/GT2 group, I thought it'd be interesting to hear from owners of the 997TT and GT2.

How much have you spent on mods for your car? Aero, wheels, interior (yes...interior dome light cover in leather counts :) ) and performance...

I was bitten by the mod bug hard, early, and often. Below is what I added after I picked up the car last month. Some stuff is pretty mundane, other stuff is pretty exciting... and it all cost way too much. hilarious

Main ones; very similar to sparkhill and LOVE every single one of them:

Bilstein PSS10 Damptronic
Cargraphic Loud Exhaust
