let's see....on day 2 of ownership the roof rack went on. then it was the CAI after 4 months (my brother was already modding the car before i bought it). at 13 months i bought new wheels and tires. after that...LOOOONNNNGGGGG hiatus. pursuig other interests and paying the car off. year 5= new wheels by default since the asshats at the tire shop damaged the last set (ie FREE replacment and upgrade!!). year 6= suspension, RSB, tint, LED lighting, and major OCD (obsessive compulsive detailing) bug hit...plans for year 7= a performance mod and a for looks mod 
OP- depends on how much expendable income you have to throw at your car. nothing we do to mod the car will enhance the resale value anyway. it's mostly for our own tastes. it's a hobby. we do it b/c we like to do it. it makes our car ownership experience that much more enjoyable. good luck...keep hanging out on AZ and your wallet will become a lot lighter.

) on my TL and the MDX. the detailing...that's all me. installed the running boards and the hitch on the MDX with a set of extra hands and muscle around. gonna add the roof rails eventually to complete the MDX. i can pretty much install and uninstall a roof rack with a little help.my brother tinkers with his cars all the time...i always help when it comes to playing with my cars.
i always try and read up on AZ (the DIYs) to help me understand what is involved...my brother would rather dive in and start taking things apart without reading over all the details. just take your time when you are doing something new. if you're taking bumpers and stuff off...have an extra set of hands around and a blanket so you dont' scratch anything. also...expect random stuff not to cooperate or break. its bound to happen when modding anything. oh and a few f-bombs thrown at the car.
