How Much Have You Spent On Your Mark?

I dont want to list everything but lets say just a hair over $9000 after the amount of the car.
 
....since I last saw this post, I've officially spent way to friggin' much on what is nearly a 14 year old car... I figure it's still cheaper than dropping another $20k on a new car... but not much.
 
GMAN take out the jack and rotate the tires LOL.... just picking on you..

That's a free mod...

94 Mark VIII - $1900 -
LMS MAF - Free (Yahoo)
$35 K&N Cone Air Filter
$300 for paint and body work thanks Mike
$40 Kenwood 10 Disc Changer (eBay)
$50 Dual Tips.
$300 American Air Suspension 1.5" Lowered Air Ride Conversion kit.

Total so far $2625.

Coming in Spring 255/50/16's - Still Pricing...
 
Glad you replied to this thread again Gman. I have to add, sold the 95, 1500, threw that back into my 98, so here is the tally:

98 LSC: $7500
STEREO:
Focal K3P 3way components $1000
Focal Be Tweeters $1200
Focal 33v2 Polyglass 13" subwoofer $600
Audison SRx2 $300
Audison LRx2.150 (x2) $600 each
Audison LRx1.400 $1000
Clarion DRz9255 $1200
Stinger Pro wire 1/0G (roughly) $3.00/ft x 40ft = 120.00
Monster Cable Audiophile 10g Speaker wire >120ft, roughly 200.00
Custom Billet Aluminum Battery Terminals....Nickle Plated (500.00)
Optima Yellow Top $180
Custom Install: Zilch...I got by with a little help from my friends
120sqft Second Skin Damplifier Pro $400
oh and JL Audio Ground bolt, washer, and nut $10

All for a grand total of: $15,410 give or take a hundred.....mind you, that was retail on the stereo, when you buy in bulk, you get it for much less. So let's just leave it at that.
