As long as the mod doesn't require drilling, cutting, or adhesives, it shouldn't cause any long term harm. I had a pretty massive stereo install as well as shocks, swaybar, and exhaust system, and it all came out in one weekend, returning the car to bone stock. New speaker baskets ($8 each) was all that was needed. When you do a mod just be sure to hold on to the stock part.

Things like spoilers that require drilling, window tint that fades and peels, those are the types of mods I'd stay away from.

Enjoy!

You could also have a look at the Aus Console Cover, seat belt pads and head rests.

I've heard of people taking off part of the airbox or something like that. Im sure it doesnt give a huge hp gain -maybe 2 or 3 hp since the engine can breathe easier. It does make the engine louder, though. What exactly is it that they do? Do they just remove the top of the airbox by unclamping it?

They do just remove the top portion of the airbox. However, it's debateable if that has any positive effect on performance since it can, and probably does, allow hot air into the intake system. This might be an effective thing to do if you live in a very cold area but otherwise I don't think it does any good other than to increase the intake sound.
