But it really depends on the mods

You tell them to get back into the kitchen, before they offend someone.

Just remind her that upgrades/modes are already scheduled for her in the near future (depedning on age and attributes).

Just tell her that it's a way to make your car unique and the mods make driving your car even more enjoyable

One thing you'll come to find out is there's no logical way to make her understand. Promise you that

Your best shot is to let her know it's a hobby that you enjoy, and pray that she doesnt hit you with the "buying shoes/purses is her hobby"

doesnt work out

If your significant other knows a lot about cars, why would she think i.e. putting on a set of aftermarket sway bars not improve overall handling performance of the car? Sure it might seem like a waste of money to her, and some mods are just for looks, but there is a performance upgrade with aftermarket sway bars. She should know what what you're doing will hopefully 1. improve performance of the car 2. improve the "overall look" of the car 3. its a lifestyle aka hobby. Does the significant other have a modded car?
