Default new to the game

what's up everybody. i just got my 03 civic ex monday. i recently lost my cherokee due to an accident and decided to go car this time around. i was originally looking at Tc's, but had a buddy convince me to go civic. so i'm not really car savy, with the exception of having some buddies in the hobby. so my knowledge is still growing. for now the plans are subtle; CAI, header, maybe exhaust, rims/tires, probably grill, headlights. she's pretty basic as of now. i'm in k-town (LA), so one of my concerns is finding legal parts. i've heard numerous times where people are pulled over for just their cars and don't really wanna deal with that. but nothing else, passing emissions too. any advice would be great. well plenty more later. thx for the help in advance.

as you can see, everything is stock. windows are getting tented in a week or so. any advice on CAI and header that'll pass emissions in CA, or will all? thx for the comments (even the sarcastic ones...). and thx for looking.
