S2k nickel and diming
Had my S only a week and I'm easily over $1K in "small accessories"
Spoon intake from ebay
K@N airfilter
radiator air deflector top cover
Roll bar speaker inserts
front license plate hole covers
touch up paint for the front lip
Jaguar symbol license frame
metal underguard for spoiler
front metal grills
zaino kit, 303, plexus, biking sunglasses
I'm drooling over too much stuff for my pretty S.

Yeah, it's kind of a money pit, but a fun one...
I'm looking right now at
New tire to replace blowout so I'm not on donut- $140
Tire to replace replacement - $150
Paint damage repair -$1000 min!
Floor mats- Muz- $200
Lip- $250
And that's nothing compared to
Supercharger w/ AC - $5000
Wheels- $1500
Exhaust, Headers....My god!
But you only live once, might as well enjoy the ride!!!

Icemn, it's only a money pit if that's what you guys choose to do. But, I'll definitely agree that customizing an S is expensive work.
The only serious coin I've spent in 26,000 miles of original-owner miles is a set of 17" aftermarket wheels (that I love), and one set of front S03s and two sets of rear... That's expensive shite. I blew $500 to get an airbag on/off, which should've been standard equip... Beyond that, the car hasn't required anything.

Yup, there is a ton of stuff out there for your S. Some people are very happy with the car the way it is. For the others who cant leave a good thing alone it can get a bit pricey.
