Welcome to the forum.
First off the Headlights will be a direct swap and perfect fitment. As for the tail lights they will fit exactly the same it just uses different wiring so you might need to do some , I think theres a thread about how to do the conversion on the forum. As for intakes theres not really anyone who makes a special one for our cars so your best off just building one your self, I built mine with auto zone and ebay parts. Many people have told me that there is no point of putting a intake on the M271s because it really shows no gains.
As for other parts Ebays your best bet for aftermarket parts, the sponsors on here also have some great stuff. The best way to get parts are when members put theres up for sale because you can get them a lot cheeper because they are used.
Please make use the search function on the forum and also check out all the stickys too, welcome to the forum and I like the color of your car btw.

thank you... any specific seller on ebay that sells quality headlights? looking specifically for black housing headlights with the projectors.. i guess i will leave the intake stock.. i do however want to do exhaust real bad.. i know that would free up a couple of ponies since the car is supercharged..
Those are a little older pics, It looks different know, more straight with less bends and all in it
