Hmm... In January '06 it was nearing $15,000 in mods. Since then I've spent about another $10,000-$13,000. By the end of the year, I'll probably have spent another $5,000. This includes most everything that goes on the car, not just the big pieces (i.e., wiring, connectors, lost bolts, etc.) I have most of my receipts and I'm afraid to add everything up. I've made way too many changes/mistakes!

Slick and Rare WS6 rims - $600
Kooks and Catted Y - $1250
GMMG - $775
ASCD Hood - $425
Paint for hood - $200
LS6 intake - $250
SFC - $125
STB - $60
LCA/PHB - $140
Short Stick - $25
SLP Lid - $90
Raptor - $75
P&P TB by PTB - $60
TSP Cam Package with Dual Springs, ASP pulley, belts, Ported LS6 Oil pump, gaskets and other stuff - $1225

About $5300 so far. I haven't installed the cam. So add a little for that. And that's leaving out basic maintenace. Oil changes, spark plugs, wires and of course the all expensive gasoline.
