KW Coilovers (Better than the NISMO) - $2,095.00
Cobb AccessPort (Better than the NISMO) - $695.00
Cobb Tuning (You won't have the software required) - approx. $150 (just a guess)

Total: $4,235

I think Forged also has wheels and such so here:

Advan Wheels (Only ones on their site with a price) - $2,350 (These are 18's so 19's will be more, so we'll say $3,000 to be conservative)

Grand Total: $7,235

Keep in mind that all of these components will be BETTER than the NISMO, except maybe the wheels.

Also you will be lacking the Body Kit as well as the Dampers.

Performance-wise the Cobb, Struts/Springs, and Exhaust are really the only things worth worrying about.

Very nice - I've seen quite a few of your other posts so I'm gonna give you a +1 rep on that, but I also have some follow-ups:

Where can I find out more on the Cobb Tuning software? I found some sites that talked about it but not many of them seemed to be selling it - is it something for Custom Tuning shops only?
Are the rims in the Sports Package that much worse than the NISMO's or Advan rims to warrant another $3k expense?
Any links you can give me that backup the "better than the NISMO" comment? No disrespect, I just like to read up on this stuff in my spare time.

Thanks again for your quick response.
