Sorry, the only cure for the mod bug is an empty wallet. Even then, the credit card is very tempting.

Yuh, I know the feeling. Currently I'm in a PC building phase. I told myself I wouldn't spend money on modding my car right now (it's been almost a year) and last month I went stir crazy so to speak.

I upgraded (read - built new from scratch) our old PC then I did my oldest daughters, then my sons, now I'm building a new one for youngest daughter...I sat down last night and totaled all of the receipts for stuff I ordered for the builds and the one I'm in the process of right now...$2,000. (sigh) Sadly more than my mods for my car would've cost.

3.73 gears FRP - installed
Bama Chips C&L Street/Race with SCT tunner
FRP Axle Back exhaust
Eibach springs (not the prostreet, the other ones)
Total about 1600-1700....

It's even worse to catch it and not have any money to continue feeding it.

Nice- get points for upgrading the wife's ride... One for her and three for you? I like that ratio.
