IMO if you want to preserve the value of the car decades down the road (basically keeping it like a future classic car), you can "mod" but strictly off the factory optional parts and accessories catalog / factory performance parts catalog, specifically for that car model. Overtime, these parts become the most rare and sought after, since they were usually overpriced to many people during the products' lifespan. Keep a copy of these factory catalogs to validate the mods. One can go one step further and make sure everything on the car (trim parts, down to the nuts and bolts) is current for that specific model year.
Then maybe one day the car will make the magazine cover of Nostalgic Hero.
I guess you can argue that's not really modding since everything technically remains OEM.
