I got the EDMs for about $400, since insurance gave me $200+ for the busted stock one I was replacing. Plus, the EDMs put out about twice the light as the stock lights... sound's pretty functional to me.

Since a stock foglight cost $120 to replace (I broke one of those too), I bought two Hella 500 driving lights for $75, so I actually got a ton more light while saving money. And since I no longer had fog lights and missed them for driving over the pass in weather, I added the projector fogs. Again, all totally functional.

And if you don't think Hella Supertones are functional, please stand in front of my car for a demonstration.

Finally, even though you didn't mention it, the wing is a replica of the Spec-C wing, which was designed in the windtunnel to reduce lift and drag... though I don't know if the replica is exact enough to help a lot, it should be better than the stock wing that came with the car. But that's probably the most non-functional mod on my car.

By my count, that's about $1000 in parts. My suspension alone cost more than that.
