Intakes are for the most part pretty simple. Springs would generally be a little harder (most people say the rear being the harder part, if i can recall). You would need a spring compressor as well for the springs. But as looks would be concerned.. if you like the way your car looks right now, you'll like it even more when it's lowered. It shouldn't/won't look weird.

A lot of people like:
Tein S-Techs
Tein H-Techs (350Z model, I think for the spring rate)
And so on, so forth. If you did a search for springs, there should be quite a number of threads/posts in regards to which certain springs people are using.
I personally have S-Techs on my coupe (that I've used with my old 20" iForged's and my 19" Rays I have on now) however, I also have some Tein Basics waiting to get put on too. My shocks are pretty much done for, but I've had the springs on my car foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever

springs are pretty easy, need to rent a spring compressor for some auto shop, here in cali, we can rent it for free
it'll help alot if you have air tools or major muscle because some of the bolts are torqued pretty high
easiest is if you can find a coilover, replaces entire unit, no need to get the shocks out..
intake is beyond simple, kinda like a strut bar, from a difficulty scale of 1-10, both of them are 0
exhaust/hfc isn't that hard either, it would be so much easier if you can do it at a shop with lift/tools, but i've done it on my old car on 4 jackstands, hard part about exhaust is that it's freaking heavy and you have to align it underneath

Interior lighting? Like the convenience lights? You can actually make that stuff look cooler?
