How much have you spent on mods.....so far!!

[VVG]

As any real Moddict knows, your car is never "done" and when it is, it is time to get another car. But in the mean time we continually tweak and change. Some things big, some things little. So I am curious...how much have people spent on mods, accessories, etc for their C7. I just got my APR TCU flash and am now in for over $28k, although a good chunk of this is wheels and tires...two sets of summer, and 6 snow tires. Already blew one on a pothole and have one extra just in case.

What's your mod and accessory bill to date?

[yvnrg1981]

Rims+tires = 8000k
Apr Stage 1+Tran = 2400
Carbon parts= 1500
Vag Cable = 400
Painted Caliper = 600
AWE= 2600
Roof wrap =300

Are we counting carryover mods?

Total - $7923

I'm glad I'm happy with the stock 20" wheels.

Now here's a thread that will cause VOL to go into a full on panic. All these "Ballers" in one place are likely to make him go into a typing frenzy about how stupid we all are.

My signature will tell you I like to not think of what I've spent so far but boy do I love it.

I guess we all miss him. It's probably too civil without Vol.

Oh boy, talk about anxiety... This thread gives me PTSD flashbacks of when I lost a ton of money on a penny stock as a novice, foolish, young trader... Nice to read that I'm not the only one here that doesn't like to start adding it up. That ruins the fun!

Funny, a few days ago I added it up in light of the "S7 to RS7 conversion" thread, thinking about how much in the hole I am toward an RS7 instead of an S... and now reading this thread I was like "oh yeah I forgot about the cable" and "oh yeah, those carbon fiber mirror caps too" LOL.. Not sure about exact numbers on some of these things and I'm too lazy to look it up.

CF mirrors - 300?
VAGCOM - 300
APR Stage 1 - 1575
APR stage 2 - 424
Un-flashing and re-flashing 6 times - 360
Milltek exhaust w/ DPs, installed - 6000
p3 gauge - 380
Dash cams - 200
mesh grille (destroyed in accident) - 300?

Just about 10k. Added a lot of fun to the car and I'm very pleased with all purchases. However if I could do it all over again I might just buy the RS7 and be done...... yeah right I would be at least 15k in the hole with mods on that too

I didn't list mats or tires as I consider those more of maintenance items than mods, but:

All-season tires - 1200
WeatherTech mats - 172

[jstrebel]

Nope, I'll never tell.
