- 2019 Civic Si

Soooo, I picked up 2019 Si back in February after my 96 Civic got stolen (R.I.P.). I have been dabbling with the idea of doing some basic mods but I am not sure where to start.
This car is my daily driver and I am not trying to take it to the track or anything but I would like to get a little more power out of it for general fun and I would like to expand my automotive knowledge a bit.
I've seen people talking about just doing something like a CAI, using Hondata or Ktuner (not fully sure what these do), installing an intercooler etc.
My questions are:
Which of these are viable for a daily driver? Or what else would you recommend?
Will any of these affect me getting my car to pass smog? ( I live in Cali) If I recall correctly, cars newer than 6 six years don't require smog checks but eventually I'll have to do it again.
Are their any good exterior mods I can do? Like different fenders, bumpers etc?
Lastly, if I do any of these mods, will that drive other maintenance or any requirements for other components?
Any help is appreciated.
