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.

yep...gotta love that mod bug! it's more of a "love bite" than anything else! we started with the gt3 seats in the boxster so then we had to get race seats for the 996. same with wheels, tires, suspension, tint, harnesses, exhaust...the list goes on. we take turns. suspension will be next on the list for mine.
