Congrats on the new car.
I would go with the red paint. I wouldnt do yellow. But its your car. You could paint them pink.

first off, yellow is iffy for me for calipers... i say go with red. i had the red but it wasnt bright enough for me so i painted them yellow and i like them a lot buuuuut idk abou yelllow on a red koup. as far as the paint, id get the duplicolor brand. i used a can and a half for all 4 calipers and 1 can of clear coat as well as maybe half a can for the cleaner for the calipers
the HID kit: i would go to DDmtuning.com for that. i just bought a new kit cuz my original one crapped out on me and ive nothing but positive reviews for it and its super affordable. im talking like i payed 48 dollars shipped for a kit and they sent me a slim ballast as well! i dint even order a slim ballast. pretty sweet!
LED strips: try to get strips that arent blocked by 3's. as in, there isnt a noticable space btw the lights every 3 lights. i think paul got the A5 set on ebay and they look great! as far as the looks with the HIDs, it'll depend on where you decide to put them on your headlight. i have mine on the top and you can easily tell the difference at night with them on with the low beams.
i believe this is the link for the a5 strips i had for a little while before switching to the ones i have in. theyre bright.

CAI and exhaust: i'd say go with turbokits.com. period
the sound with my muffler(wish i had the catback!) and the cai is sooooooooooo much better than stock and no ricer sounding either. it sounds mean. idk if you'll get it to sound like a porsche tho lol
first pic is the "blocked" strips that i was referring to. see the gap every 3 lights?
the second is the a5 strips
and the third is my 6000K kit when i first got it. its pretty bright and puts off a white light
and lastly, the drivers side strip is the a5 as well. not passenger tho
cheers! and we need to meet up tomorrow! thursday meet at academy. text me tomorrow afternoon
