All the basic bolt on are affordable, and great. With under $1,000, you can get your basic intake, headers, exhuast, and springs. If you know where to look and install them yourself (except the exhaust, that's going to have to be welded on with the custom piping of the diameter of your choice).
Goodluck with the ride.

Nom Nom Nom Nom
Check out ebay for an intake. People will argue the aem's are better than the cheap ebay ones, but when it comes down to performance, its either you pay 150 or 30 for almost the same performance, and when I say almost, mean within 1-2+/- hp..
I got the Tein S Tech springs and they are now bouncy and rough as shit. I will be lookiing into some eibachs real soon. If I dont go the coil route, which I probably wont because I just got the kyb's. From what I have heard is that the Eibachs ride pretty nice. Hopefully.
If your gonna do your exhaust, look into headers as well. I have no idea which ones fit, because I have a 4 banger, but ya.. If your gonna do it, do the whole thing.
Good luck.

Intake (depending on brand) $30-$150
Exhaust (depending on brand) $120-$350
Headers $175 - $250
Springs (depending on what brand) $150-$275
Install and custom piping for exhaust $100
Prices vary so much because of brand, and whether it's new or used. But you can pick up a lot of the basics for what I consider cheap.
If you need help finding parts, let me know. I can look at other sites besides ebay for you.

Only 2 guys have ever supercharged their 3.0's. One out in NY, and the guy was in CO. If you want to save yourself the hassle, you can throw in a 75 shot and call it a day.
As for the suspension squeaking, they either did not install it properly, or a little grease in the bushing could do the trick (depending where the squeak is coming from).

I also want a muffler that is normal sounding til u step on the gas and open up the engine, then it let out a deep roar.

squared on the need for more pics
and as for tricking out the 3.0 go with the ebay intake w/ K&N filter first so it can sound nice on WOT but be prepared for the hum monster.
(why has this thread been so popular for like a week now???)

contrarian in fashion
its not that the wing is mounted wrong... its just mounted on teh wrong car!..... then again... is there a rite car to mount that thing on???
anyway... if u look at ur trunk.. ull see that our trunks are at a slope, so if u mount a wing like that on it, it would angle upward causing LIFT and not downforce like its suppose to.
i would remove it and put the stock wing on there instead... but thats just what i would do

Alright, well still..from that picture, it looks like ass. Post some real pictures and I might take it back.
but thats STILL very doubtful. Actually, it probably won't ever happen.
