What is your $ threshold for cheap? One guy's cheap might be another guy's expensive.

Let's call it "inexpensive" rather than "cheap". Cheap = Crap.
Budget like $100/month and by the end of 12 months you should have a some nice mods.
Here one, drop that front plate and the stuff hanging on your rear view mirror.

just bank the money each month until you get enough to get what you want. Although its more fun to do little mods here and there, you'll definantly be happier when you get what you want. Plus in that time, there are bound to be multiple group buys and sales

CF splitters, save up for them, or black lines. small mods, look good. CF on silver car look nice.

amber overlays, get rid of the front plate, bumper plugs, cf roundels, debadge, a few DIY mods, rear power outlets, rear fogs, corner delete. You can probably do ALL that I just mentioned for about $100

There are tons of things you can do that are simple and affordable upgrades but do transform the car. Here are some options:

Interior Xenon Bulbs

LED Clear or Smoked Side Lenses

Colored Roundel Overlays

Painted Door Lock Cover

Solaris Mirror Coated Front Turn Signal Bulbs

We also offer a variety of painted lip spoilers, interior upgrades (aluminum pedals, ebrakes, shift knobs), LED turn signals and Angel Eye color upgrades that would work well.

search the DIY section for those, rear power outlets gives your 2 "phone charger outlets" in the backseat by the rear air.

Corner delete mod is fairly difficult and if you are just starting you might want to hold off on that for a while.

replica cf front splitters can be had for about $250~ and it definitely helps change the look of the front end of the car.
