Hey dude, welcome to the site!
I agree with Naz that anything to do with the headlights and updating your tires are the absolute best bang for your buck. Tires were the first mod I did to my car, and they totally rule, especially in the rain. Actually, since the sidewall of the Potenzas are much stiffer then the stock Goodslides, I can feel the softness or suspension compliance in the car, plus it rides stiffer down the road, but I don't mind that at all...it's awesome to be able to outcorner and outbreak J-body cars on a daily basis...lol! In terms of modding the car, stuff like exhaust and intake components won't void your warranty. Most of them are designed to be a direct fit/replacement for the OEM parts, and often are combined with them (e.g your stock MAF sensor get's used on stuff like an AEM air intake). I think the only way you void the powertrain warranty is if you put on an aftermarket cylinder head, or have machinework done to it or the block, or use aftermarket pistons, cams, crank, etc.
I'd get the HID's if I were you...I want the ST-170 lights, and since Dean already has em, I don't want there to be too many people with the same lights! :P
Like I said, welcome, and these guys (and gals) 4real know their stuff coz they've done it all already and knows what's the real deal, and what's junk or a waste...
L8tr!
