Run a few searches, there have been several in-depth threads on 1.8 performance. You pretty much are limited to intake, exhaust, and header.

As for kits, there aren't all that many out there for the 00-06 Sentras and most of them look awful.

Eh, it's a very round car, so angular kits (which most kits, including the two you linked, are), IMO, look out of place.

A good alternative I've seen is a lip kit. They consist of a simple front lip, rear valence, and extended side skirts.

The second front bumper didn't look that bad. I liked the side skirts on the first one. When my new bumper finally arrives (shipped from Florida) I'll try and post pics.

A good place for lips would be either ebay, which is where I got my Type S lip, or I would suggest, http://www.ondergroundperformance.com ..... They make awesome products but are a little on the expensive side.

I looked around and the best kits are the NISMO ones, even though they can hardly be called kits at all. If you want ideas as to looks, search for magazines that have used a Sentra for their show car. Here is an example that I'm trying to model my car after:

Your pobably about average depending on the mileage I paid 10k for my 04 1.8 with 30,000 miles. The spec cost aroud 5k more new than the GXE new depending on options. Unless it wasnt in good condition then you were ripped off

the only body kit that looks good on the 03 sentras is the buddy club 2 (its the spec-v body kit with a lip all the way around basically), and as far as performance goes the easiest way to gain some power would be a full exhaust system from the header back, cold air intake, clutch, and probably a nitrous kit ( but that requires tuning and you would probably have to use a puggy back system).
