I had just fully upgraded it and was working on getting something faster when the patch killed the game.
My biggest problem with the game is how fast-and-the-furious it is. And the mod list pissed me off. You pretty much HAVE to install a bigassed ugly wing, a stupid looking body kit, and neons in order to have enough style points at first to unlock the performance upgrades. Totally caters to riceboys.
Also annoyed me that these visual mods did not effect performance. In the real world if you put 50 pounds of vinyl graphics all over your car, and a 50 pound, drag-heavy body kit, you're gonna slow down. The game didn't model that.
Also, who the hell thinks 19" wheels on a civic is a good idea, but it upgraded my performance when I stuck them on there anyway. 19" wheels won't do anything but slow a civic down.

First off, the way the game works is that all the stuff in the visuals tab doesn't affect performance in any way. (Including the wide body kits, that was stupid.) And you don't unlock performance upgrades with style points, you only get them from tournaments (which unlocks them) and the sprint races set up by the other racers. You can run through the game without putting visuals on your car, it just might be a while before you unlock eddy's skyline, that's all.
