I thought it would be interesting to calculate just how much I've spent on my car, not counting gas and other expendable items. The total came to exactly $34,608 including tax, title, license, shipping and installation (not counting $575 I made from selling my old RS parts). These prices reflect the true, final cost of every modification I've made. I also include links to installation instructions and I will put up my reviews later.
