Default mod list

ok so this is what i want to do to the car...
i have an MRT Aero Turbine ,sequentials, and side window louversgoing on this week.

Between June and July:
Wheels and tire

Between July and early September:
CAI and Tune

Between September to December:
Gears and T-Lok

This all depends on how much money i make over the summer. hopefully enough to get me started with all of this stuff but wheels and tires are first for the appearance. I have the stock ones on now and need to change it.

How much do you think all this combined is going to run me?
-wheels and tires....1000$
-CAI and Tune....600$???
-Gears and T-Lok...??????

I researched wheels + tires for a good while before making my decision, and you can spend anywhere from $600 +/- for some lightly used-take-off's, to, well, the sky's the limit...
Depends on what size, style, and construction you want, and what kind of tires you want (that will fit).
I had been eyeballing some OEM 17" Bullitt's, but ended up deciding on staggered 18x9 and 18x10 deep dish chrome Bullitt's, from American Muscle.
With a forum discount, they'll total about $695 for the 4 rims (still waiting for them to get the 18x10's back in stock). Haven't decided on tires yet, but, I plan on $150 to $200 per tire from a local shop (who should do the mounting and balancing for free, or nominal cost), which will total around $1300 to $1500 for rims and tires. Oh, and another $30 or so for chrome acorn lug nuts plus a set of locking lug nuts.
If you want different center caps, that's another charge - anywhere from $50 and up, depending on what you want.
You gonna keep your old rims & tires in your basement / garage / etc? If not, you can pay to store them at a tire shop, or try and sell them and recoup some of the cost for the upgrade.

I've found the gears to be like 200-250ish and the T-lok to be about 200 so how does it end up being 800-900? Does it cost 400 bucks to install?

I don 't have gears and T-lok but that's one of my many planned mods and from the research i've done that's about right. It can range from $300-$500
