Meissen, your car still looks pretty sweet to me. 
Lets see....
Exterior:
OEM SS hood - $0 (on the car when I bought it)
Mecham spoiler - $0 (same as hood)
C5 18' Y2K wheels w/ tires - $1300
Yokohama tires (to replace the ones that came with the wheels) - $900
GTS taillight blackouts - $50
Wings West grill - $75 (used)
vinyl hood scoop stripe - $50
SS Inserts rear lettering - $60
Eibach lowering springs - $90 (used)
black "euro" turn signals - $45
clear rear side markers - $25
slotted & crossdrilled rotors - $250 (awaiting installation)
Interior:
PPI amp - $100 (no longer have - stolen)
Pioneer CD player - $300 (stolen along with the amp)
Kenwood Excelon CD player - $520 (if this one gets jacked I swear.....)
Pioneer subs - $120
Probox sub box - $200
Trans Am ebony seats - $0 (traded racing seats for them)
MBA foglight switch trim - $40
Yikes...I've never actually added it up before....close to $4125.
Luckily most of my performance stuff was already on the car when I bought it.

The CarPC's kinda nifty.... The ext isnt bad, that hoods cool if you could back it up. The only thing I dont like is the red paint on the INT. when ever I see paint on a INT ( other than stock ) it just doesnt look right to me. Never seen any in person, maybe it just looks horrible IRL.

Not really much considering the amounts I've seen others post
SS inserts $60
!moulding $0
BB stripes $120 (had to order twice screwed up the first set
)
White Hurst shift **** $25
Cyberwhite fog lights $59
Painted calipers $16
Center panel decals $10 (waiting installation)
Plus the various waxes, polishes, and a PC to work them with $200
So looks like ~ $475, pretty paltry sum compared to some of y'all

Previous owner made the shift **** and had the windows tinted.
I have not decided what I want to do appearance wise yet. Since I have a Black car I was thinking of replacing the red SS's with white ones. Here's the shift ****. Granted the flas on the camera made the words look like they are glowing neon but in all reality its clear and easy to read.
