Without including "regular" maintenance such as wear & tear / breakdown repairs, oil changes, plus & wires, brake pads, etc. How much have you spent on your Contour? Examples would be tint, stereo, adding SVT UIM, LIM & TB to a non-SVT, wheels & tires, brakes, bulbs, forced induction, custom work, paint, etc. This should be interesting!  Feel free to list mods if you wish. Discussion is encouraged! All polls I conduct are added to the Sticky: Archive: Polls of the week

I put $15,000-$16,999 because I bought 2 different supercharger kits, had 10 different exhausts, 6-7 sets of wheels, the list goes on and on.

Hah. Not including the thousands of repairs I put in, my Contour remained for the most part stock. Only mods were a Clifford Matrix alarm (of which I sorely miss  ) and two headunits (one POS Aiwa and another Alpine my sister bought). The majority of repairs are listed after the pictures in this topic.

Hmm... the big mods I have so far were rims/tires, which was around $600, and new brake stuff, which was around $500. But counting all the little things, I'd say that would be another $750.
