Wheels+Tires: $2500 ($3500 if I count the winters, but those are a requirement in Canuckistan)
Suspension stuff: $500 (Only bushings and camber bolts so far)
Brakes: $1000 (Cooked a set of pads and rotors on my last track day of the season or this would be lower)
OFT + OFH: $1200 (Money well spent)
Sharkfin + Raceseng shift knob + OBDII stuff: $400

So, about $5600 so far.

Works out to about what I spend for my golf membership in a year, but most of this stuff will be amortized over the life of the car, so not a big deal.

Having hung out with jvincent, I can assure everyone on this board he will have to revisit this thread many times in the future for an update. LOL.

Lotta bean counters here. Strong thread topic to thread poster relationship.

I am still under $2,000. Only due to my self restraint. (OK let's be honest; my wife!)

Driver mod is expensive, and a cost I would not have incurred if a drove in a manner the factory would consider "normal usage"
