It is a Zev mag release that I replaced in the past. Same shape and size like the factory one. It is such a PITA to take out and put back in the factory one. If it is an absolute 'no-no' then sigh I will have to go through the pain again replacing it.

Also will Glock34 rear sight allowed on the Glock17? If not, no biggie for this one, easy to change back.

I think grip tape is allowed in certain area but will the color of the tape be an issue too?

I think fiber optic front is allowed too? I thought I read it in the rule book GOSH!!!! I will need to find my rule book again I know it is somewhere in the house =(
 
According to the rule book Appendix D4 Production, 16 and 17:

16 - Original parts and components offered by the OFM as standard equipment, or as an option, for a specific model handgun on the IPSC approved handgun list are permittedpermitted, subject to the following:
16.1 Modifications to them, other than minor detailing (the removal of burrs and/or adjustments unavoidably required in order to fit replacement OFM parts or components), are prohibited. Other prohibited modifications include those which facilitate faster reloading (e.g. flared, enlarged and/or add-on magwells, etc.), changing the original color and/or finish of a handgun, and/or adding stripes, stippling or other embellishments.
16.2 Magazines accessible to a competitor during a COF must not contain more than 15 rounds at the Start Signal. Identifying marks or decals, internal capacity limiters, bumper pads and additional witness holes, which add or remove negligible weight to/from magazines, are permitted.
16.3 Sights may be trimmed, adjusted and/or have colors applied. Sights may also be fitted with fiber optic or similar inserts.

17 - Aftermarket parts, components and accessories are prohibited, except as follows:
17.1 Aftermarket magazines are permitted, subject to 16.2 above.
17.2 Aftermarket open sights (see Rule 5.1.3.1) are permitted, provided their installation and/or adjustment requires no alteration to the handgun.
17.3 Aftermarket grip panels which match the profile and contours of the OFM standard or optional grip panels for the approved handgun and/or the application of tape on grips (see Appendix E3a) are permitted. However, rubber sleeves are prohibited.

The Zev Mag Release has to go. Get yourself a dental pick - makes hooking that mag release spring really easy so the swap back won't be so painful.

Sure, it's fine - you can do anything with sights so long as you don't have to modify (mill / file / etc.) the slide.

Grip tape is fine. Follow the guideline in the rule book for application. Appendix E3A - Page 60
Color? Well, if you're a guy and you pick pink and have Hello Kitty logos on it; you might be the subject of ridicule with your buddies but the officials won't care.

Yep, see above. So long as you don't mod the slide.
