I was a bit curious about how much money you have spend on "factory or aftermarket" additions to your Protege5 or MP3 models?

I've owned my vidid beauty for 4 months now and my tally is close to $2,000.00 (U.S.).....this includes: wheels, tires, springs,cat-back,shift-kit & shift ****.

NEXT.........

 

I've spent a little more than $4,000 on aftermarket stuff on top of the car, and I've gotten some really really good deals along the way..

this summer it will probably double.

 

prob around 4 grand canadian...........thats just on stereo (big one), light bulbs, intake, short shifter, aftermarket alarm/remote starter

plan on spending another 6 grand for a turbo kit

 

whoa there people... he said specifically "protege5 or mp3 models." us regular protege owners were not included yet again.

 

i find cars are like computers......they are a huge money pit!!!!

but its all worth it in the end

 

I myself have spend about $6000.00 for stereo, wheels and tires, tint.

 

Around $1000 CAD<<alarm, CAI, lights, and some minor stuffs!>>

 

Excuse me..... I orginally posted this thread on the "Protege5/MP3/ 3rd Gen site. Then the administrator "moved" it "off-topic".......

NightOwl,

What kind of short shifter do you have? Got any pics? Also, where did you buy it? I live in Toronto and once I get my Protege I'll be looking at replacing it with a short-shifter... How much did it cost to replace or did you do it yourself?

Ive spent over $5000, mostly on changing my wheels every 2 months. Ive gone through 3 sets, and I have a new set noe

 

Aproxamately $7249 on my car so far!

 

I've spent about $2300 on my Pro5.

 

only $1500 here...<hey I just had a kid and bought a house> wish I could spend more though.

 

About6000$ us dollars i've gotten some really good deals along the way though. I still need a good header.

 

Zero. If I could have afforded my car plus $5k in mods, I just would have just bought a WRX to start with.

I love my stock P5.
