Careful with appearance stuff, as you may run into ground clearance issues on some tracks (Summit Point's Shenandoah Circuit has a carousel a la the Nurburgring, that you must drop into - that caused problems people w/ clearance issues...).

NISMO is, indeed, a waste of money for the most part. If you're going to go appearance mod crazy anyway, dont waste your cash.
I'm not planning on making a career out of the track days, so I'll likely be tracking on Beaver Run (Wompum, PA), and maybe Mid-Ohio. Long time ago, I had a '95 Civic Coupe w/ Eibach springs, and my clearance was really low to the point, the cat converter on Greddy exhaust would drag against speed bumps. It was difficult for daily driving. So I hear ya there.
