umm... all of your questions require more of an opinion rather than an answer... it really depends on how you want your max to look/perform... and when it comes to prices, always remember that you get what you pay for... you also might want to use the search feature of the world wide web....

4: what will be best intake for it? it is auto/6 speed tip.. not manual
No such thing as a 6 speed tip, autos are 5 speed but since yours is a 07 you have infinite speed. (Cvt)
5: what GRILL SHOULD I PUT IN
Cmod as mentioned here before.
7: should i move the front plate few inches to the right side?
IMO, no
8: what is cheapest what to increase hp?
Nothings cheap, look at NWP spacers and block plate.

im doing same thing taking out all chrome and its same color as "maxed_out_saloon" (my pictures are up there to) but my thing is that i will not have this car for long (about 8 months or yr) but still i want to invest some money in it.. thats y i asked if i can increase hp cheap.. i know intake, exhaust.. helps (so does turbo but to much $ and time) i just painted my stock grille black and left emblem normal for now.. in week or so ill order new grille... so far i liked grille i saw by maxed_out_saloon but my question is.. is there a nismo grille for 2007? i seen it for 2004-2006 not 2007

no they actually made an intake for the 6th gen Maxima. also the rims are sold for the Maxima primarily as well.

the CVT does feature 6 position tiptronic as well.

you can search for many threads already covering your questions with a lot of opinions.

1: im looking for a roof spoiler for my 07 maxima where will it be cheapest (link)
eBay is your best friend when it comes to spoilers, roof spoiler, etc

2: should i paint the stock 18 inch maxima rims black ( have grey color maxima with tints )
Pick up a set of black rims off craigslist.org in your local area... you'll find a good set of 18's, 20's, etc for about $300-500.

3: what color should i paint the breaks?
Leave the calipers alone.

4: what will be best intake for it? it is auto/6 speed tip.. not manual
The "best" intake is really depending on your preference. Some like Fujita, and others like Nismo. Many members I know used fujita and hydrolocked their engines because of it. My best advice (or preference) is to get Nismo CAI and convert to short ram when it's raining, etc. Always play it safe, not what's common.

5: what GRILL SHOULD I PUT IN (LINK.. I PLAN ON BLACKING OUT MY MAXIMA NO CHROME)
Some have the eBay Mesh (commonly known as C-MOD Grille) and others have chrome grilles, etc. Check the 6th gen for sale section for a C-Mod grille that's for sale by KCMAXX

6: would window visors look good on it?
You don't need them.. and they're useless.

7: should i move the front plate few inches to the right side?
If there's no reason to move it, why mess with it?

8: what is cheapest what to increase hp? besides a intake ...
There's no cheap way in modifying your car. It all depends on your budget and what you want to do to it. If your budget is high, then step into the Turbo stage. IF not, then stick to bolt-ons such as spacers, block off plate, CAI, y-pipe, catback, headers (maybe), etc. Either way nothing you choose to buy is cheap. You get what you pay for besically, so decide wisely and spend your money on what gets you most gains.

Lastly, always start your own trend, don't follow someone else's

lol If you don't believe the hydrolocked issue, get ahold of Dstruc on here or 6thgenmaxima.org. Few others on that org had it happen to them. It doesn't take that much for your engine to hydrolock actually, just have enough water to part of the intake filter and I guarantee you enough water will get sucked in your engine to shut it down in its spot.

Calipers.. i'm not sure about. I might paint them black just to get out of the "stock" caliper look, but it's not something i'm in a hurry to get done.
