Does the cost of enchanting armor spikes depend on the armor's total + enchantment or are the two independent? Could one make armor with "locking slots" where to put interchangeable spikes (e.g., silver or flaming or whatever other spikes are needed at the time)?

From the equipment section on armor spikes:
An enhancement bonus to a suit of armor does not improve the spikes' effectiveness, but the spikes can be made into magic weapons in their own right.
So, the two are completely independent as far as enhancement bonuses are concerned. +1 full plate with +2 armor spikes would cost 7000 gp.
1500 full plate150 masterwork armor
1000 armor enhancement bonus
50 armor spikes
300 masterwork weapon
4000 weapon enhancement bonus
7000 total cost
As to the second question, the rules really don't address it. I probably wouldn't allow it, as it offends my sense of how the armor is crafted with the spikes incorporated into the design, but nothing in the rules prevent "bolt-on" or "after-market" accessories.

And now I have to photoshop up a picture of a Dwarf with some sick vinyls, underbody lighting, and a sweet full plate body kit.

Nice!
I'm glad he had the sense of style to pass on the spinning hubcaps.
Oh he's still saving up for that and a nice lift kit.

Thanks for the LOL....that just got printed out to be passed around the table next week :)
On topic, btw the +2 armor spikes enchanted as a weapon would be 8,000gp.
Doh!
You're right, bonus squared * 2,000gp not * 1,000.

Heh, awesome, glad this is making the rounds, didn't expect people to like it that much. I think I should have added a title or motivational postered it... "Item Creation Feats: Not always a good thing."
