First mods to 2012 MR?
What should be some of the first modifications to a MR in your opinion? Will modding potentially kill the sell value of the car if I ever consider it in the future? I definitely want a bigger Intake and BOV as they seem like the cheapest initial mods.

2012 Evo ? I don't see why you would want to mod it (at least mods that will void the warranty). In my opinion I would do light mods (lowering springs/coilovers and MAYBE an ECU flash) but other than that, I would just enjoy the car for awhile before doing lots of performance mods.
Personally, I don't see why people mods their cars to the extent they do if they are not going to be driving in a situation where those mods actually make a difference.
I am in the market for a 08+ Evo and it is annoying HOW many people buy these cars, mod the sh*t out of them and void the warranty, and then sell them expecting top dollar from a private seller and whine about the dealership lowballing them on trade-in.
You said you will prob keep the car for a long time, so that puts you in a different catergory but I would still just lightly mod the car and enjoy it for years and then put in the mods that will give you another 100+ hp.
Just my .02. To each their own. Congrats on the Evo. I hope to have on in my garage soon as well.

My apologies, I'm on my computer now, ahaha. I meant BOV and intake. For some reason my Samsung Note auto-corrected the combination of BOV and intake to ' BOVINE '. I don't even know what that means. 
Regarding the mods, I was talking about light ones. And I'm definitely not expecting to sell the MR for more if I do happen to mod it. It would lower the value if anything, of course I figured that.
Regarding the Warranty, does even lowering the springs void it?

Technically, it doesn't "void" the warranty. If you modify something and it has a negative affect on the parts associated with the modification then Mitsubishi will deny the claim.
For example: Add lowering springs and burn out the transmission, you will still be covered. Add lowering springs and blow out your struts, it will probably not be covered.
