Cheaper Exterior Mods? 2016 ILX

I have a 2016 ILX Premium. This is the first car I have ever really wanted to mod, but I just can't afford to sink 1,000's of dollars into the aero kit, spoiler, fog lights, etc. I really want to add some mods for the exterior looks to increase the sportiness of the car. Something similar to the aero kit but not as pricey. I know it's tacky but is there any good looking cheaper front and side splitters or bumper lids that would add small changes to the car all around but still tasteful? I planned on using my entire budget for the A-Spec or Diamond Wheels but that is way down the road. Any thoughts would be great!

if you have the skills, you can make any cheap mod look great!!!
except, that skill takes time to develop over the course of your "modding career"
since it's your first time modding, it will be hard to tie in cheap mods cohesively.

but nothing is stopping you from going to Autozone or ebay and picking up spoilers, splitters, aero kits, cannards, diffusers, etc...

Well I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what items they have put on their cars for exterior looks that aren't over the top expensive. Any pictures or links of stuff or ideas that would look pretty good?

And my non modding skills is whats stopping me. I was hoping to gather some info/items and maybe pay for the labor.
