Here's a rough rundown of the costs, not including install:

$700 give or take $100, depending on where you get the kit
??? Shouldn't be a lot, it's all in the labor
$350-$900 depending on where you get it
$500 is my guess...sorry I don't know how much wings cost
$200 or so
$1000-$1200 depending on where you get them (w/tires)
$20 and up
$500-$10000 depending on what you want done, and what kind of job

$70-$210 depending on what kind
$150-$1300 depending on what kind
$500 or so

$500-$2100 depending on what you want

??? don't know
$210 I think

thanks man....do you think all thisl look to ricey....id like t hear some of your ideas on the engine mods, whats tebest i can get for not TOO much money most of the other stuff i think i can get somewhat ofa deal on...also suspension wul be a huge help..thnks a lot i really apreciate your time and ideas :D

Rice is all relative...if you like it, go ahead and do it.

For the engine, if you are just looking for small power and easy bolt-ons, like intake/header/exhaust, try for an AEM or Injen cold air intake, DC Sports header is good, and exhaust is basically personal preference.

For suspension, a set of Progress or Eibach or Neuspeed springs and Tokico Illumina struts will run about $500-$650. Koni Yellow struts will cost about $100-$150 more than the Tokicos.

If you want adjustable height, go for some real coilovers (not sleeves, like Skunk). A'PEXi WS is good and cheap; I like Progress coilovers or Tein or Zeal. Again here it depends how much you want to spend.
