I know where you are coming from. I know people that think modding a car can mess it up or depreciate the value and reliability. This may be the case if you try to do "cheap mods" and cut corners. Also if you take things apart and do not put them back together right, problems may arise.
Modding a car can be very safe and rewarding if you do your research and plan accordingly. Of course there are all types of modding ranging from strictly visual appearance to full engine overhauls. You have to decide what route you want to go.
One thing to note is the addiction. Once you start, it may be impossible to stop
This can be good and bad. The good is it can become a great hobby.
Visual mods can be great if done right. But there are always people lacking in taste who can ruin the looks of a beautiful car
Power mods are fun and most of them are safe. Intake/Exhaust can change how the car sounds, if you are looking for that kind of thing. Suspension mods can really change the way the car drives. One thing to note, is the higher performing the suspension is, the more road you will feel (bumps, road cracks, etc...)
Definitely check out what people are doing to their cars and see what you like/dont like. Don't be scared to ask questions. Don't assume the most expensive parts are the best.
One last thing... WELCOME! We love having the girlfriends/wifies hang around and join in the conversations.
