Supercharger, Turbocharger, Nitrous, Exhaust, basically like already stated, anything that is non internal and is bolted on, I guess you could consider heads a bolt on lol.

You CAN NOT have a list of them until you define them. Is this for a racing class or just bragging rights
Also some bolts ons are detrimental to others or just plain incompatible. Plus internal mods can often be cheaper and more productive.
You really need to go and do some reasearch and set some goals which are a little more focused.
Bolt on's could include:
-Intake (lid, filter, CAI, TB, MAF, bellows, manifold)
-Exhaust (headers, cats, mid pipe, tubing, muffler, catback)
-Electric water pump
-Pulleys
-!air con
-!power steering
-Light weight panels & weight reduction
-Flywheel
-Clutch
-Gearbox
-Final Drive Ratio gears
-Axle
-Suspension
-Chassis
-Brakes
-Steering
-Fuel (injectors, pump, runners)
-Electircal (plugs, wires)
-Wheels (rims, tyres)
-Power adders (nitrous, super/turbocharger)
-Interior
-Styling
-Aerodynamics
Very few people run FULL bolt ons, because 1) there are so many, 2) because you can make more power for less money with some bolt ons and internal work.

don't forget a torque arm guys 
a torque arm is probably the epitome of the definition "bolt-on". you literally bolt it on
this man is correct. gears and a tune are DEFINITELY not bolt-ons. if a tune is a bolt-on, race gas is a bolt-on.

Bolt on car SHOULD be a car with aftermarket parts that do not include touching the oil on the motor and should be NA. Anyone that thinks a bolt on should include nitrous or a turbo/supercharger is out of his/her mind.

I dont like the word "bolt-On" Almost everything bolts-in to the car right? A cam is a staright forward swap, Take it apart....put it back together, right? Thats just me though... No custom modifications require.

when my car was considered a bolt on car, it had lt's w/td's, lid/filter, maf, tb bypass, ud pulley, rear seat delete, spare tire and jack delete, mt dr's, bmr ta, lca's w/relocation brackets, rear hal qa1's, and a predator which bumped up my limiter and shift points (auto). i ran 12.3 @ 115 on a cool day
