You have to decide why you want to mod a car. Most people just do this or that because they read it on a forum or in a magazine or saw it on youtube. Truth is what do you want your car to do.
For example, I have a ton of mods on my 04 WRX wagon - power mods because I wanted more speed. Suspension mods because I wanted it to turn on rails. Well my car drives like a dream and I am happy. I have bought three different sets of wheels for it. it was worth all my time and money doing the mods because I love the car. it has 125k and running strong. I would still invest in it now over a new car. Never once thought about the money side because I am so in the money with this car. No payments on this car for 10 years. I mean I have friends that have bought 3 cars in the 14 years I have owned this car.
I bought a 16 BRZ, for commuting because it gets better gas mileage. Modded it for power because these things are too slow stock. Two subies are better than one.
IMHO, if you are thinking about the cost factor or resale, then you are not really committed to the car and should just leave it stock or a few cheap and easy mods.
