Around $13,000 for me in parts and some more in labor for bigger items like clutch, TBE, and IC so total is probably closer to $14,500. Madness. Pure madness.

I wouldn't be surprised if my mods with labor came out to $10k. Most of what I've done is in my sig, but I've been through multiple pieces of hardware for the same mod. The IE intake is my third intake, my shift knob is my third shift knob, I'm on my 2nd set of PSS, and my Stratified tune is my 2nd tune.. That alone is about $4.5k.

definitely there is more in parts on my car than what the car is worth... got it with minimum 6k in parts already installed, have probably added atleast that much since. and the list is still growing
edit: dammit curious now - total is close to 13000 in aftermarket stuff lol. I lucked out hard because the car came with a lot of the big stuff already on it for a steal! I got the car for 10.5k

Bought my 12 back in August of 2011, brand new and I think I did alright for sticking with my 'light mod' game plan.
Winter Wheels $250
2 x set of tires $800
Coilovers - $1200
Catback - $500
Few other things here and there, but I think I'm a little over $3k spent. Although, I might drop $2k on new wheels next year, but we'll see.

As far as mods go im in the $2300-2500 range. Ive had the car for 4 years now though and the mods most of us have make the car way more enjoyable so thats a drop in the bucket if you ask me
