You can contact user JBSPEED for your front and rear spoiler.
For your fogs, you could do either. Different bulb will give you different color and output or replace the whole unit and go HID fogs. If you just want "color" and want to save a few bucks, just go with new bulbs. If you want to match the factory Bi-X look, go with the HID conversion.

1. There are a ton of trunk spoilers out there. This one looks most like the C55 I've seen:

2. Don't worry what size pipe. Let the experts at the local muffler shop take care of everything. It is a standard, stocked size. It should take less than an hour and $50-$100 to take care of.

3. N/A

4. Can't help you here.

5. Check out Euroteck Motorsports, they are a sponsor here. This link will get you in the right area:

I agree the exhaust shop will know best, (2.5 inch pipe I think) Another thing to think about is cutting out the secondary cats too. That will free up some power and give your car a very mean sound. I did it and showed 12whp or something like that and 19wtq gain at the wheels from just cutting out the secondary cats. Also you will have no fear or check engine lights what so ever.

Here is my you tube like to what it would sound like with no secondary cats and res-delete

3. I have the HID fog setup, cost me $100 total incl. install and i love them, they're a great color match/slight offset to the headlights... i love the look and it's not very expensive. completely worth it!

4. i have 19s on my car, and my car sits pretty well on top of them, didn't need to adjust the height and the car still looks squatty. staggered rims w/ a wider lip on the rear wheels also adds an agressive look.

hope that helped... best of luck!!
