Default Some Help with new 06' Si

I just bought a Honda Civic Si 2006..
I paid almost $25K because the guys from honda installed some acess on it.. I didn't want it, but i had no choice.
Well, this is my first brand new car, and I want to improve its performance, and make it looks even better :D
I know nothing about cars and i was wondering if someone could help me out :D
thanks..

I have another question.. what about the oil change..
Someone told me to don't change the oil (5.000) here.. (dealer)
Whats the difference? :D Whats the difference between the dealer's oil and the "special oil" (that i saw in some posts).
Thanks again

i got charged almost 700 for the wheel locks, sunroof visor, mud flaps, and pinstripe. luckily i got to em before they put on the gay little stripe. so i didnt get charged for that, and since i had told em i didnt want anything extra on there if it cost extra and they did it anyway, they discounted me like $300. as far as ur first upgrades... keep it simple and keep it in warranty. DONT buy an aftermarket suspension kit! it will void ur warranty in regards to all suspension related parts (shocks, wishbone, bushings, etc). keep it simple and keep it clean. get an Injen CAI, exhaust system, and when they release a decent header that doesnt eliminate the catalytic converter get that. DC is the only company with one out, but it is RACE header and will void ur warranty for ur engine. if u are going for looks, i would get a carbon fiber hood, the HFP lip kit, and HFP lowering springs (covered under warranty if applied at dealer). everything for these cars are pretty expensive, but from what i hear they are all badass. cant wait til the warranty expires and i get to boost this bastard! hope that helps. as for oil... i dont know what all has been said. if u change the oil make sure u use proper oil. "special oil" could just be the synthetic that people prefer.

There has been talk on this site about using Mobil M1 synthetic or Royal Purple (I think that is what it is called). I am going to change too, but am still undecided about which oil to change to. Thinking I will try M1 first since I have heard other people being satisfied with the results.
