Default Question about tailpieces and endpin

Okay, the bass i bought is certainly no rocket ship but im looking to upgrade certain parts and i need a push in the right direction. First, the tailpiece is metal, my bandmate calls it a bangledesh bicycle fender, lol. Should i replace it with an ebony one? Composite? Does it really make that much difference? And second, the endpin is clearly cheap, i have it extended 5 1/2 inches and on certain notes, or if you accidently bang it when playing it makes a terrible, really loud vibration noise.. any suggestions on whether or not to replace these items, with what and from which company would certainly be appreciated. Much thanks
