This is really just personal preference. I don't care for aftermarket head/tail lights, but any answers you get to this question are going to be very subjective.

I wouldn't spend much on one; just make sure the filter is good. eBay piping is fine. Your gas mileage won't change much, if at all (unless you have a horribly dirty filter right now).

If you go this route, make sure it's a brand name short shifter, not an eBay knockoff (and please don't cut yours). I personally would not invest in one, because you're forcing the synchros to work faster than they're designed to, and you're just going to fuck up your tranny in the end.
