Hey guys, former Sig kool-aid drinker (but I still love 'em) coming over to the dark side. I've got a USP9c on the way from CDNN. It comes with the gun, 2 Klinton mags, rail adapter, and uber-tactical zombie-killing laser. I'm gonna use it for carry (minus the light/laser) and I want to tacti-pimp it out a little.

I'm curious as to what y'all recommend in the way of:

Sights - some type of low pro nights
Hi Cap mags - CDNN has 'em for $39, anywhere better?
Magazine floor plates - I've heard something about aluminum floorplates? Anything?
Grip - Perhaps some of the Hogue gripsleeves I see that everyone has.
Light - With the short bbl I'd like something that didn't stick out too far.

ETA: Thanks for the replies guys but I forgot to ask one thing, what kind of holster do y'all carry with? Thanks again.

Sights:  MMC are my favorites.  Night, different colors and configs, bullet proof, and fully adjustable.
Mags:  CDNN has about the best prices around.  Also go to Stermgewehr and look up GM or Gordon Miller.  He has some great prices on demo and slightly used mags.  You will not beat his prices and he is as stand-up as they come.  Buy with complete confidence.
Floor Plates:  A few aluminum ones have been made but they are hard to find.  Doc Rak made some but he is impossible to find now and his floor plates are even harder to find.  Check out HKPRO for sale boards.
Grips.  Hogue or nothing.  Personally, I ride bare-back.  
Light:  Insight Technologies X2 (what the XD Springfield uses) is very good on the Compact and if you can find one they have the X2L which has the laser.

I just had a set of MMC installed on my USPC-45 and I must say that they are anything but low-pro.
They seem very well made. But there just a little bit tall for my likeing.

I like the Heinie Straight Eights, but they're a little tall.  Fit my holsters just fine though.

The USP grip is nice.  IMO, you really don't need hogues.  Finger grooves are overrated, and the USP grip has more traction than any slip on rubber doohickey will have.  I've tried it both ways, and I definitely prefer the USP grip as it comes from the factory.  It's particularly good for muzzle control during rapid firing.

Going to second that on the grip.  I actually purchased some pre-cut grip tape from a local shop and I love it...Can't say that I have any idea where to purchase that online though.
