hmm..... HKS exhaust is around 350 to your door and its the best sounding ____. also take off the NOS and put on an intake, also take off the splitters and get a nice headunit.

Clutch/Flywheel
Sway Bars
Intake
Head Unit are some others...

And the Zex setup will cost a bit more than 500... just the base kit is that, and you need more $$$$ to run purge, open, etc...

i'll repeat perrins comment, no performance parts work with the '07 yet. He's basically limited to show mods, no "go" mods as of now... But if I were you, get some s-techs, get it alligned, by yourself a set of rims, throw on an exhaust (not getting into brands everyone has their favorite) screw the strut bar because its not that noticeable and get a set of sway bars (not getting into which brang because everyone has their favorites) because its a HUGE difference in handling. Then get the lip kit. I'd hold off on that CF hood because Its not really CF its fiberglass then covered with CF... UNLESS you get it from Kaminari but be prepared to spend $$$$$ OBX although not my faborite brand those options are two are easy things to do that enhance the look of your car. Go with a short shifter while your playing with your shift **** though, I think the TRD short shifter is the undisputed best for our car. And then get engifineer to do a led swap on your HVAC and gauges to get rid of that foul orange color

Not sure how much all that adds up to but much better spending of the money and I'm not sure I'd toy with nitrous but its your car do what you like there is someone spraying 150 shot "supposedly" and hes ok so far (if he even has it). Keep in mind that as of now you'd have to drill into the stock intake and if somethin happens (even if its not a blown engine) you just flushed your warranty down the drain for 75 occassional HP (Not worth it)

exhaust (depends?) around $400?
rims and tires (depends?) around $1400
springs (i have Hotchkis) $300 including install, give or take?
OEM Lip Kit $770
Lip Spoiler $230
TRD rear sway $150
Hotchkis strut bar (i felt a difference and makes the engine bay a little better) $150?
Alpine HU (depends) around $300.

total on that is $3,700. Wish i had this type of cash to throw on my car! Good Luck!

invest in a ROTH bank account (interest free) with an anual percent yeild of 6%-10% and keep putting in money like that for 30-40 years and you can retire a millionare with the $800,000 worth of interest you have collected by only putting in around $180-200,000 of your own money. But if the car thing is your fad right now (like mine) the million dollar retirement can wait lol

first of all i like the S/W
and if i was you i would start off with some rims
second i would get the windows tinted
then i would get all new audio
then an exhaust (ild go with hks hi-power or magnaflow)
....but i made my own custom dual exhaust for under $150
then ild lower it
and if you have any money left after all that ild work on the engine
thats just me though

last...c.f bpillars look ___ imo

No offense but most of the stuff on your list I would classify as trinkets. Individually they are inexpensive but combine the money you'd spend on a few of those and you could get something nice. Personally I'd save up and get a turbo. Whether the kits out there or not would fit is another question but custom is always an option. If you're not into FI then springs, wheels/tires, body kit, and the rest on a sound system (probably enough for a HU after body kit is installed depending).

then when the performance parts for the 07 comes to the market I'll finish my proyect with a turbo/C.
