Cold air: Depends on how it's designed. You'll notice a very small change in power (dependent on N/A or TII)
Ram air: No "mounts" are currently sold. And if they are, it's probably a rip off. Ram air IMO is a pipe-dream (no pun intended) unless there was alot of time and effort invested in doublechecking it's effectiveness with pressure sensors, etc.
New taillights: 'Euro look' is a very vague description. Do a search for Series 5 Taillights for an FC. Everybody loves those (for some reason).

Clear taillights? There was set on e-bay. S5 stock taillights with clear lenses. Maybe snoop around there for some. Not my cup of tea, but that's not the point.
The tornado thing is another common misconception. Don't waste your money.

The key to CAI is to keep the intake air seperate from the hot air around the engine. This page here will show you a write up (with pictures) on how this is done with a cold air box. Like Black13B said, its a do it yourself project that gives great results and without paying an arm and a leg.

RICER RICER...blah blah why is everyone so bitter? If he likes the look then more power to him "to each his own" maybe he hates your OEM ugly orange lenses...ewwww orange.....Grow up! People complian all the time about there being no partrs availble for FC's but no-one is willing to pay for anything....people like 1987rx7guy and myself are putting countless hours and money into making products for these cars and people call them rice or scoff at our innovations... I personally wish there were more parts availble for myself to buy so i didn't have to "make them myself". AHHHH rant:
