I'm in about $1100 on my '05. I got pretty much all my money back on my 03, except maybe a few hundred.

Car Info: (2005 OBP STi - RIP), 2008 BMW M3
VF34 - 650
sti pinks - 325
W/B fuel pump - 100
perrin light weight crank pulley - 125.00
STI injen 2-piece CAI - 125.00
TXS stealth back (high-flow) - 550.00
prodrive axeback - 150.00
........... etc etc etc............

Seeing your face when you tally up how much you've spent - priceless

lucky for me, I'm a broke college student barely making it at UCB; therefore, I have no cash for mods on my car.

What I do have:
STI hoodscoop - $50 plus my stock scoop
Zerosports replica intercoller splitter - $60
sti short shifter assembly - $160
SD short shifter I previously had in place - $40 (bought from another member)
Kartboy bushings - $20

so that puts me at $330 spent.

STi injectors
JDM STi intercooler
Gruppe-s Uppipe
MRT Twin Dump Downpipe w/high flow cat (one of a kind, thanks moike)
Blitz Cat-back
GFB pullies
High stall convertor
Tein S-tech springs
KYB AGX's
Cusco rear sway bar
Whiteline rear strut bar
Wilwood 4 pot front brakes
Whiteline ALK

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $5k. It should have been more.

Add in wheels:
17" Gold Subzeros
17" Black Downshifts

And now I'm around $6K.

If you wanna talk about maintenance, I've been through 3 sets of tires on the Subzeros and about 3 sets on the Downshifts. Most of the tires costing about $500-700 to replace all 4. I'm on the second set of rotors, about 4-5 boxes of brake pads for the front. So I'd say in all close to $8-10K. My car is an '02 with 85,000 miles though.
