If you do plan on modding I would just suggest small things like an intake, dp, and 3.4 pulley. All easy modifications to do with your 2/10 automotive knowledge. It will make for a peppy daily without breaking the bank
This is what i plan on doin. i just turned 21, i have a 2 and a half year old. My gtp has the 180 stat, shorter dog bones, and CAI. I did the LIM gasket on my own and thats about it. looking to get tint because not only does it look cool but i hate that my daughter sits in the sun.

So yeah i plan on getting the downpipe. i have 97K on mine and my cat is starting to crap out anyway. then i'm gonna go to a 3.4. Its my daily driver and so i wont go crazy but 13's would be nice

i've had my car almost a year and thats all i have done. doesnt help that work is slow and i only get 20 hours a week. otherwise there would be more done. it also doesnt help that i need a blower motor resistor cuz none of my fan speed works. and my windshield wiper motor doesnt work. thats 60 bucks i dont have right now lol but just manage your money right and u'll be able to get stuff here and there.
