New 1.8S SE Owner

Hello everyone! I just purchased a new 06 1.8S SE sentra about a month ago for 14k OTD and had some general questions. I'm not sure if I'm in the right seciton of the forum or not (please let me know.) Just to let you guys know I purchased this car for work since I commute from LA to Riverside everyday and its great on gas. Car is getting a lil boring for me so I'm gonna start doing some modifications on it.
Currents mods in the works for me are:
JDM headlights
McCulloch HID kit
Yakima Bike rack (I mtn bike ride)
The next items i would like to add to my car would be a cold air intake and exhaust. Now I have no clue which brand is good or not for this car....so please share the knowledge. I'm looking for something that will not cost me too much.
Also, if there are any cheap small mods I can do that would make a drastic change to my vehicle, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

-Val

the intakes for the 2.0's will work for your car. hotshot makes one for the 1.8, i believe place racing used to but don't anymore. if you get the 2.0 intake, you'll have to redrill some holes for the maf but it's not a big deal.
there's no catback made specifically for the 1.8, most people go with the hks super drager catback for the 2.0. most of the 1.8's i've seen them on fit with no problems, but i've talked to a few who had to have a shop make a few adjustments. that shouldn't be a big deal either.
by "jdm headlights" do you just mean the ones with the black housings and clear corners? there's no jdm b15, lol.

Thanks!

Yeah I mean the lights with the black housings/clear corners. I guess aftermarket would be a better word...

lol i assumed that whole jdm thing is just one of my pet peeves
if you do get aftermarket headlights, you will need to re-seal them. the non oem ones don't have a factory seal and will more than likely leak, then you'll have nice foggy headlights

it doesn't matter, some kind of silicone or epoxy stuff (preferably something black). you just need to re seal around the headlight so you have to do a good job or it will look like ass
