How the majority of the people on the forum who mod do it.
From order of first to last:
1) Drop in Filter/ "CAI"/Stickers/diffuser/canards/tow hooks/mad CAD diffuser/hella horns/illest stickers/plasti dip everything/shift knob/random bushing
2) OFT/ECUTEK
3) Rims/lowering springs
4) Cat back
5) Header
6) front pipe
7) over pipe
Usually at this time they bitch about the car being slow still, then proceed to part out NA mods
8) purchase turbo kit (contemplate supporting mods but don't get them)
9) buy EBCS and turn up boost
At this point they either blow the engine, and or grenade the trans, chasing more and more power. If not they decide to either part out or sell as a whole.
Those who sell as is ask 40k for their 2013 frs with 20k miles on it and a $3,000 turbo kit, and knock off RB kit. Which results in them slowly lowering it until it's actually reasonable, or them parting it out anyway.
Those who part out state how amazing every single part was but that they want to go a different route.
Disclaimer: I made many poor choices myself when I had my FRS and if and when I have the opportunity to get one again, I will know that a lot of what is on this car shouldn't be "fixed" in the first place.
With that said if you do decide you want power, either get a different car (best option) or go FI from the start and save yourself a bunch of money. Realize this car will never be a great drag car. It suffers from a poor HP-TQ ratio, has issues getting grip, and has a glass transmission. Not because it's a crappy car but because it was built with the exact opposite in mind.
