Too much lol. I have started to add it up a couple times but just thinking of the paint, wheels and transmission is enough to make me stop since it's already up too high imo. Doesn't stop me from spending more though.. heck I am still on my second and third cars so I get my enjoyment out of what I put in

I wish I could spend 10k and get a car in the condition of yours.
