I'm sure that "sell it and buy something different" is not what you wanted to hear, but when you ask for honest opinions, you gonna get honest opinions.
That being said, if it's something you have no intention of getting rid of, and you want to make the best of it...then do it. F*ck what other people think right? You got the 2.2, save some coin and give Hahn a call, shut the haterz up.....kidding, haterz neva shut up.
If you do plan on getting something else later, and it's not the car you really wanna put money into, then don't. Save your money, just keep the cavy clean and running. Modding something you plan to sell as soon as you can is a double waste, you lose money on mods, and on the resale.
My opinion...
everything back to red
tint the windows
clay bar, wax, sealant
Leave it be
