I know how you feel about all the changes you have made, I have done almost exactly the same changes. I have only had the vehicle 10 months and added tires, tint, exhaust, sliders, timing belt, water pump, belt and hoses, front brakes, rear brakes.... I also paid too much for it and went from 2 paid for vehicles to a car payment with these type of repairs. I am not happy with that. Every time I have to have work done on it I am without a vehicle since I downsized from 2 vehicles to one. I don't have the know how to do the work myself so its costing me.
Now it makes me wonder if I am going to be able to afford the type of maintenance this vehicle requires? I feel like I have to suck it up and take it because there is no other vehicle I am interested in and in my price range without having to start all over with possible maintenance repairs on another vehicle. I do not buy brand new vehicles either. Yes, I am cheap. Why did I buy a Lexus then? Because of the good luck I had with my Tundra and it having the same motor and the niceness on the inside of my camry but the power of my Tundra. I enjoy driving it, but from the beginning there seems to be a stereotype of Lexus owners and I am country as cornbread and am not a typical Lexus owner. LOL
