Garmin Backup EFIS
Auto Pilot
Min IFR Garmin Radio/Nav
Dual Landing lights
What about wiring from Stein Air
Etc...

My numbers are running from $115k to $148k depending on build choices and not including paint. I’m about 70% complete with the empennage right now and likely storing the project for a few years to evaluate and save given the choices ahead of me.

Kinda crazy to me that I could build one of those jet sonex with heated seats and O2 for the remaining cost to get me a VFR RV-14.
 
I'm budgeting about $200k for mine, but I'ma buy brand new everything, and do fancy stuff like EFII. I'm sure people smarter than me will build it for less.

I also might just get it to the point where it can fly VFR then add the 2nd EFIS display, IFR goodies, autopilot, etc.
