Was wondering what mods you guys have done?
I'm looking for something thats not super invasive but can increase the performance of the car. Not looking for massive power spike. Something more like an additional 30-50 HP and about the same for Torque.
The mods i'm thinking about are:
New Exhaust
Cold Air Intake
Air Filter
ECU Mod (may not do this because ive read about issues where the car will essentially reject the tune and then your car is undrivable. Also this sounds like the most invasive mod so i may not do it)
Black side front and back skirts (more for the aesthetic)
Also any advice on where to buy and what companies would give me the most bang for my buck.
Please excuse me if i sound super noob at this. This is the first car (and the first time i can afford) that i can even attempt to mod and i kinda have no idea where to start or what to do. I also wont be DIYing these installs because i'm not a handyman by any means.
Thanks for any help!!

Best bang for buck is a tune plus E85 fuel, and its totally reversible.
or tune plus catless header on petrol if you dont have E85 available or want to run E85.
dont change the intake its not worth the trouble or expense, just put in a $50 drop in non-oiled filter like apexi .
if your rearly concerned about warantee dont mod anything
or get an OFT where you can flash back a totally stock tune yourself for service. and just do the tune and maybe a drop in filter
then maybe most of the pretty colored links below if you want to tune it yourself or use something lke an OFT or even get a tuner to do it.
to get 30 (at the wheels) or so Hp over stock you will need catless header and overpipe plus tune on likely 93 petrol minimum. Rearly expensive header like ACE ($1500) might get you their on 91 with a custom tune.
or less expensive header like gruppe-s tune and E85 fuel
50hp (at the wheels) over stock on naturally aspirated car is pretty well not achievable even with full bolt on mods E85 and custom tune
