Actually, I think you can get just the extensions by them selves since you have the rest of the aerobar setup. Kind of like this for $50.
I have these and like them a lot, but I bought the whole aerobar, which happens to be on sale for $70, but I'm pretty sure that your bike already has the exact same pads for your current bars anyway.
If you want an aggressive position, consider your seat height, bar height, and stem angle as well. (that's free if you have a 5mm allen key!)

I like the Profile T2s. Or the Vision S bends. Both are kind affordable. What I did to my Aerolites was hack em up pretty good. I took the spacer out from under the arm rest. You have to cut the bolts with a dremel when you do this. Then I cut the extensions down so there was only about 2 inches after the upturn. It helped quite a bit.
As TriGator mentioned, make sure you dont have to many spacers on your steerer tube and that your stem is angled down or neutral, not up. But be careful, changing your position too much will require some adaptation. If you drop your bars two inches, it'll likely take a couple weeks before you are totally comfortable in the new position.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

In regards to your wetsuit, I would highly recommend the De soto wetsuits. The Blackpearl is their cheaper model, but it is still a little over your price range, but they are great wetsuits. They also have a 14 day guarantee so that if you don't like it for any reason, they will take it back, even after you have used it. I would at least look into it as I am totally satisfied with mine and it felt great in the water.
However, I should clarify by saying that I have not tried any other wetsuits, but I am extremely happy with what I got.
Hey so I have a 2006 Felt s32 which has the stock profile design aerobars on them. I really dont like them I would like to be in a more aggressive position with a different pair. Would I need to change my handlebars also? Or does it all come in one piece? Also I only wanna spend about $100 because I need to buy a wetsuit this week also. Thats a whole other story cus I am 6'4 180lbs and the only two stores that have tri gear near me have about 1 small rack of wetsuits and probably not my size. I wanna spend about $250 on the wetsuit cus I am swimming in the Long Island Sound in less than a month and it will be a little chilly. Thanks in advance, u guys rock!!
