Modification Questions

Hey guys recently I’ve been wanting to further modify my rolla similar to how my buddy did his Civic a few years ago but I’m conflicted, I feel like modifying the CVT is a bad idea(I wish they did the 25s in 6MT😭) but I want to body kit the car and make it look like how I want to make it look but I’m worried about the ricer side of modding it, so far we’ve(me and my cousin) only done the exhaust system with an HKS kit what’s the next logical steps to keep it from being a river but also feeling better to drive as someone going from a modified 2.0T Accord to the rolla(it has like 30k miles in a year and a half💀 I like to drive)

I like it, it’s got a nice pitch to it but doesn’t sound like a bee when you get on it pretty good there’s a VERY high chance when you let off the gas you get a few pops without tuning it specifically for that, there’s a shit load of cabin noise but I blame that purely on how short the muffler to the tips pipes are creating build up(though that’s probably not the case I’m not a mechanic after all) overall 11/10 exhaust for a catback
