I'm about $14k in and no FI. That's including some deep discounts on parts too. I keep an excel file with all my purchases and I have a few folders full of receipts. I figure another $15k and I'll be done modding.
The good news is that the car is paid for.

If you have a solid income, manageable debt, and adequate savings, knock yourself out. If you're blowing the rent money, grocery money or adding significantly to your debt...yeah...that would be stupid...
