price estimate for tricking up my ride

when i look at some car pix posted, i cringe at how much $$$$ you peeps are spending but they sho look goooooooooooooood.

so, i'm thinking about doing something to my car and just wanted to get some idea on how long i need to be eating PB&J to save enough $$$$.

here's a list and you guys can fill in the rough estimates:

lowering (0.75-1.5") done right (with necessary kits, etc): $?
body kit: $?
rims + tires (18"?): $?
AV system with new head, speakers, screens: $?
Seats: $?
Forced air induction system + mods: $?
Brakes + rotors: $?
Any other suggested upgrades?

TOTAL: $$?
