after some thought, i am leaning towards not modding. Money isn't an issue, as all of this will be under a grand.. However... Reasons not to mod are:
1. Decreased performance (larger wheels/diameter)
2. Possible clearance issues
3. Possible ride quality degradation
4. Likely looking like an idiot
it is a daily driver/commuter car afterall....

By doing a slight drop and a +2 wheel upgrade, you're only going to make your car a better handler when those times come and you need it. I still think you should do it!
Sounds about right

I think you have too much time, money, and too many cars. 
But, if you want to drop money into it, do it and enjoy it. Personally, I wouldn't. I understood it to be your "beater"....a daily driver on the cheap side. So I'd keep it cheap and just drive it.

In all seriousness though, I have an Accord sedan DD. I've thought about modifying the car a bit to make it more fun, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I'd only end up wasting money. I'm fairly certain that I'd end up regretting spending money that never really amounted to anything.
Just so you know I was thinking about lightweight wheels, a new front grill and lowering springs. The biggest reason why I didn't want to modify the car was the fact that no matter how much I love the car, I still feel that it's to slow and it'll haunt me forever.

I'd do suspension/brake mods with no visual upgrades 
upgraded pads, SS lines, slotted rotors, thicker RSB, Nismo suspension(? if they have it), and better tires as the OEM's are probably junk
