Well, it doesn't matter where you start, there's always something you can make better. My Cayman S has about $20k in mods - turbo, lsd, ss brake lines, track pads, underdrive pulley, urethane engine/tranny mounts. Thank god the previous owner paid for them...

On my S2k, I've spent a lot less than many. And a lot less than I could have. Wheels, suspension, header, exhaust, and stereo. I bought it new 11 years ago, and did the mods slowly and methodically over time. Whatever you do, don't short sell your future by spending every dime on car parts. Save for the future, whether that's a new car, a house, a vacation, or your eventual retirement. Preferably a little of each.

Hmm wow I found my old SN hahaha this is Lee Sung

Anyway yeah I have been doing lots of mods and I will be probably stopping for now.
Was going to order hardtop but I think it's an overkill since Colorado weather is clearing up and it's so nice to go top down.
