Keep adding to that budget for better quality parts. You'll be glad you did later on.

Stance or BC Coilovers drop
19" RPF1s
some good shopping around might get you within budget and would be way better than all you originally listed.
rear bumper tuck if have nice aftermarket exhaust if not then I'd wait on that.

use that 3k to put down on some wheels. By the time they come in you'll have the other 600 or so. Or you can just get some coilovers and spacers for now.

And do something similar to theirs but better and different without ricing it out.

I do not mind if the parts are knock offs

Thank you
to be honest and no offense,

chrome makes it ghetto, not mean.
and if you plan to lower the car, don't go too low, it looks dumb when there is a bump.
if you really want it to be a mean machine, make the car sounds mean from the engine, not the outside. it's nothing mean about the car if it can be smoked by a stock z

The marketplace here would be your best friend. You could find a decent set of wheels, a nice suspension and aftermarket front lip/bumper. That's a great start!
