Stillen Underdrive Pulley - $230
Stillen Rear Sway Bar - $155

Install Times:
Exhaust - 1.5 Hours
Intake - 1.5 Hours
Coilovers - 5 Hours
Pulley - 1.5 Hours
RSB - Half Hour
Tower Brace - Half Hour
Y-Pipe - 1 Hour

Lol ya I did my first intake install a week ago and it took me a half hour. Also try to get parts from places other than Stillen. Most of their stuff isn't better than others but it costs twice as much.

Your overestimating the difficulty of a lot of it. This is my first car I've ever done anything to and I've done most of the mods myself.

LOL these are only noob mods. Intake and exhaust are just bolt-ons that affect the flow of air. Turbo-ing your car is something to be worried about since that will put stress on your transmission.
I've installed all these mods myself and they are fairly simple. you might need another set of hands so calling a friend is helpful.

If a shop told u this dont go there. they'r trying to rip u off, plain and simple. boltons wont give you so much power it wont hurt the CVT. I agree though, find a fairly knowledgable friend to help and save a good G on labor!

If you are both located in the same state, then that is a blatant flat-out lie that you will need to pay tax. That's just another way to make you may more money. What is the name of this shop?

Install Times:
Exhaust - 1.5 Hours >>>> 35 minutes
Intake - 1.5 Hours >>>> 20 minutes
Coilovers - 5 Hours >>>> 1.5 hours
Pulley - 1.5 Hours >>>> 25 minutes
RSB - Half Hour >>>> 15 minutes
Tower Brace - Half Hour >>>> 10 minutes
Y-Pipe - 1 Hour >>>> 15 minutes

*Times may be less depending on the expertise level of the mechanic.

Total - 11.5 Hours @ $90 an hour = $1,035 plus tax

Total - 3.3 Hours @ Don't be lazy and do it yourself with a friend = $0 plus tax
