So why do people end up modifying cars in this power range when the money could be better spent?
First off you would have to define "better spent". I feel as if this is subjective. If one wants to blow all their money on lottery tickets, they can make the argument that its better spent than any car and vice versa. No opinion is wrong, just different perspectives.

Second I think personally modding stems from either personalizing your car or the feeling it gives you similar to picking up a hobby.

My personal opinion is that I liked the platform of the BRZ. RWD, sporty look, good handling, mpg, the back seats(lol), ect. The modding helps with what I personally want the car to become in appearance and performance. I also find enjoyment in installing parts and enjoying the fruits of my labor.
