Any mod is a poor financial decision. The car is really good as designed. Really good. And it is warrantied just for that design. Therefore modding is not a rational financial decision. You could drop 5k in mods and it may lead to a car you dont really enjoy to daily drive. Or drop 5k and absolutely love the drive. It's a tough road once you start modding. I have modded every car I own with the exception of our 2019 Ford expedition, Which should get a 93 octane tune soon. But after modding a civic si, two wrx's, a coyote mustang gt, 2 LS3 Chevy SS sedans, an EcoBoost f150, C7 corvette and a 17 LT4 Camaro ZL1, it's expensive and like many other have said add little to your resale. Unless the buyer is performance oriented. And even then they may believe you ragged the devil out of it. I say all that to say....money is earned to be spent...at some point. If modding brings you joy, go for it. In my C7 it made the car simply amazing. In my first WRX...little was gained. It's a personal choice and feel free to make each decision based on your own personal choices.
