Smile Basic/Easy/Cheap mods?

So, I recently asked someone on youtube what are some basic first-mods to look forward to doing with a new Toyota 86. and he said:

- Catch can (need to research what this is, why its needed)
- UEL header (same as catch can, what/why?)
- N1 exhaust (make it sound meaner, right?)
- New wheels (understandable)
- Coilovers (this is for lowering, right?)

Some things recommended by the Toyota dealership (these are services they said they offer):
- Tinted windows
- Rear spoiler
- Cold Air Intake
- Lowering

Some other things I've heard of/seen people do on Youtube (I won't be doing these, too expensive and warranty at risk of void)
- LS engine swap
- Turbo charger
- "Rocket Bunny" body kit
- Diffuser
- Sidesplitters
- Headlights (BMW angel eyes on a 86!)


These are pretty much all of the mods I've heard of so far. What do you guys recommend for a noob? Looking for mostly basic/easy/cheap-ish mods (under $500 each)
I'm definitely doing Tinted windows above all else. The sun is eating me alive.

Also quick question about spoilers: does a modestly small spoiler impact performance at all or is it just more for adding a little character to the car?

Also, from what I understand, exhaust is only about changing the engine sound, right? Not really performance enhancement?

This is exciting, I have a car I can do stuff to make it look or drive better!!
