How much have you spent on your BRZ so far?
I saw this on the FR-S general forums, and thought I would start one here as well.
This car makes me feel like I'm back in high school modding cars (back in 2000 ~ 2002), and ignited my passion for sports cars again. :wub: 20% Tint - $200 Inividia N1 titanium tip - $650 + $100 = $700 Eibach Sportline Springs - $220 Tail Light custom wrap - $200 Rota G-force/tires - $1,700 Parrin Shorty Antenna - $30 Parrin Crank Pulley - $150 HTA Front Lip - $285 Subaru badge over lay/fog HID over lay - $25 Alignment - $100 Extended lug nuts - $40 Total: $3,650 Not a bad start for the first 7 months! Slowly but surely.. I think some FR-S guys are already dumping about $15,000 already.. Crazy Mofo's!! |
Other than keeping gas in it, I haven't spent anything. :P
I will probably end up waiting until I'm out of warranty before I start modding things. My luck has historically been shite, so I know that as soon as I start doing things, something will go wrong and i'll end up going down a certain creek without a paddle. That being the case, once I do start spending money, it'll mostly be cosmetic stuff to start. Wheels/tires, exhaust, tint, antenna, lowering springs, etc. Eventually I'll probably end up doing a tune, headers, etc, etc. |
Funny, this car has had the opposite effect on me. I really don't want to modify it past what I have now (this was all purchased over the past month:)
Perrin exhaust - $770 (haven't gotten it yet - delay on GB) Perrin front plate mount - $70 (same as above) Grimmspeed hood struts - $100 Detail/opticoat - $600 Tint/clear bra - $1000 Oil valve - $25 Tap turn - $80 $2645. Funny thing is, I spent about that amount on my WRX and felt like I got a lot more. Then again, detailing and clear bra/tint is what killed my total (which I never did to my WRX), but it is my first new car! |
one thing you do when you modify cars, never EVER even think about how much you spend. it will depress you.
at any rate, I think I spent $870 between wheels, license plate relocator and the hood struts |

But I love the aCar app, its great for keeping track of everything on your car. I'm OCD about that stuff so whether I like it or not, info on how much I've spent is readily available. Doesn't mean I have to think about it though... |
Six grand. Ish. I don't want to think about it.
|
I've modded my other cars - $3k, $4k, $5k... Exhaust, suspension, tuning, accessories, etc.
On the BRZ? Nothing yet. Will buy a front plate relocator when I get stopped for no front plate. Otherwise, no immediate plans. When the Primacys wear out, I'll probably shop around for rims too. |
$650 - Dunlop Star Specs in stock size (already had the Kosei wheels)
$125 - Nameless muffler delete $125 - Subaru car cover and storage bag Looks like $900 in the 7 months I've had it. The only thing I really plan to buy for it this year is a front swaybar. |
Opticoat with paint correction - $500
Exhaust- $450 Decals- $60 Snow Tires- $750 Brake Stuff- $500 LED bulbs- $75 Springs- $300 Suspension- $400 Summer Rims/tires- $1200 Repairs due to people hitting my car- $1000 Total- $5235 Ugh first time ive actually added it up.... Probably should re-direct that money into something else... |
I'm up to $7k already and just took delivery the last week of November. I have about $2500 in body kit accessories I have to order still and the last mod will be the Vortech SC kit. I expected to spend $15-20k to get it the way I want it so I'm under budget..so far;)
Luckily the car is cheap and so are the parts so for less than $50k I'll have a sick machine and no payments so I don't feel guilty bout my weekend toy. I'm sure there are plenty that have spent way more than I have so far... |
