Do: Get to know your ride better
(Pic from Stu Scully Photography)
There are cases where we see horrific pictures of rides (dreams rides or similar rides as yourself) in a road accident. It may be caused by other cars on the road or worst by self accident.
Modders who are new to their ride, especially with high powered cars, should learn their rides more before opting to incerase its performance. Learn how to drive it first, discover its potential power, know its limits and faults. These can also be achieved by taking up advanced driving classes. The main point here is to know how to handle your car wisely on the roads and avoid road accidents.
Dont: Buy for the sake of buying
It is a known fact that any modifier can recall a time when the modifying itch has got the best of them. Saying "this mod will be the last one for this year" does not hold that long whenever they've received their paycheck (BZOCA true story). Bonus is coming soon for government servants here in Brunei :).
Bare in mind that impulse buys never stay on your car for long and soon you'll be selling it for half of what you paid for. Main point is to plan out your modifying list, set your own budget and finally to resist the urge to spend on parts that you dont need.

True. I had times when the mod bugs got the best of me. At the end of the day, it comes to the well being of the car that is more important.
Also the other day I almost got myself into an accident caused by another car switching lane without signalling. Learn how to brake you car early. Know it's braking distance.
Come to this fact, I could say my brake system is not strong enough (old age of the car). So my next mod probably is to improve the brake.
A word of advise for modding enthusiast, plan your expenditure when you don't have the money. Funny I said that, but you head would be clear during that time.
Happy motoring guys. To the OP, you have a very good community and very well knowledge people here. Keep it up.
