Your seat covers are called UltraLux. It's a high-grade vinyl on the outsides and faux (false) suede on the seating portion. I had that in my '09 and it was just fine.
Using the Spectre tubing will simply make the air tube bigger. Your issues with it running badly is likely from that change and not the K&N you put on, especially if it's a 4-cyl. Search the threads on here for CAI and you'll find at least one guy who did that to his and took it back off due to the issues. If it's a V6 it might not affect it as much.
If you're using an oiled filter, K&N or any other, you run the risk of getting oil from it on your MAF. That can cause it to fail prematurely. That risk increases when it's time to clean and re-oil the filter, since most people use too much oil. And you know where it's gonna go, right?
Finding someone who can tune these cars will be a hassle. So far there are no known tunes available for this car, either the I4 or V6, and it doesn't look promising, either. When you talk to your tuner he'll probably tell you he can't do it. But if he can post that here so we'll all learn.
For your intake, if the cone filter is inside the engine compartment without a shield then you're sucking in hot air. The stock system gets cold air from behind the headlight.
There are some on here who are trying to find cat-back exhaust systems but having no joy, and others have just decided to take the factory single-in / dual-out muffler off and put on two single mufflers. Those that have done it like it.
Tint is great! Get it on!
HIDs are technically illegal since the housing isn't right for that kind of light emission. It scatters and blinds oncoming traffic. You need to get projector lenses (individually or in a kit) if you go that route or you just might get a lot of angry drivers. (You're a hockey player and you probably live to fight, eh?) You might consider instead getting the Sylvania Silver Star Ultra halogen bulbs or their Ice Blue ones. I got the Ultras and get more light out of them simply because they're rated at 4000K instead of the stock ones at ~2800K. (Actually the light is whiter, not more.)
