OP, a lot of people won't take you seriously because of your situation and lack of experience. I've been in your shoes though, so enjoy the great affordable car that the BRZ is and I agree with the parents, no need to get it all powered up as it will provide plenty of fun for you as-is.

As for your goal of improving looks, the simplest and most impactful visual way to set your car apart is to replace or paint the stock wheels. Pricing will vary from a few bucks for some plastidip to a few thousand for some lightweight alloys and new tires if you change the size.

Tinting your windows is another easy change for a couple hundred.

Aftermarket taillights, spoiler, and to an extent, exhaust are other mods that help in the looks department. The exhaust will also change sound and performance a bit, however.

If you have any desire to track the car, then forget the above and get driving lessons and tires, brakes down the road if you really get into it.

Once you decide to go performance, options will depend a lot on your own personal goals, but don't worry about that for now.
