Best Mods for Hot weather
Hmm, never thought of going with thicker oil, what would be the benefits of that in a hot climate exactly? and what is the standard oil that comes from the dealer in the states? The dealer here might already be using thicker oil (I'll have to check)
I think its 5w30 in stock trim.
as the temp goes up, the oil gets thinner, as it goes down it gets thicker. im in NH so my car sees 90+ in the summer and negative numbers in the winter. so depending on the season I run different weights of oil. do I notice a difference in the car? nope.
But if you put a can of oil in the freezer and one on the driveway in the hot sun and compare the 2 after they have sat in the environment for a few hours it tends to make sense.

Meth injection! hahaa 
I mean... I don't think you'll find anything that is HELPFUL for the hot weather... :\
If your car has intakes, it'll just suck in more hot air. CF engine cover... prolly don't do anything at all. No spacer is available and I doubt it will soon and not that it will be helpful. Exhaust...... no.
So pretty much nothing you have listed above is useful for the hot weather.
