Right at about $45k for my car now including the $35K car that is only 1.5 years old. Ouch.

Lomker you didn't include the base price of your car...you are getting up there:)

Nope. I spent the same as you with all the options last Sept. I'm planning on a carbon hood/trunk/JDM wing over the next year but should be done in the upper 50's.

A lot of the guys on this thread aren't including their own labor. I paid to get most of the work done. It's amazing what some of them have just in parts.

Are the commonly available carbon fiber hoods for the X lighter than stock? I know they're not for the VIII/IX.

Thats funny, same thing with WRX's, the CF hood are actually heavier.

Nope they aren't.

The only one I have seen that is lighter is the one Gates is running...

Nope, they are for looks. It is around $2k for full carbon. Varis has one that is carbon with frp underhood for $1500 or so.

Having a lighter car is pointless to me...I need track time and to drink less beer. The first part will happen, second is not so likely.

Wow, slammin! Am I the only one worried that my car insurance only covers half of what I have into the car? lol.

You can get them insured for more. I had my stealth insured for $40k when I drove on the street, just in case. Just need an appraisal and accurate receipts.

The Audi has drained over $2k in just parts from me this year, in maintenance. Needless to say that car will be available for sale this spring.

I've decided I'm gonna keep a running total for the 240 project. I'm not sure if I'll regret it later or not. We'll see.
