Welcome. How are your fabrication skills? If you have fabrication experience and adequate tools for your tastes you might try an airdam (chin spoiler), side skirts, belly pan, defuser, rear wheel well skirts, and a flat trunk lid spoiler. with the exception of the wheel well skirts these are mostly low profile or "normal" looking mods. But to do them really well (read as effective AND attractive) requires thought and experience. All those mods interact with one another, so part off the work can be in the dialing in of the best effect, which is tricky or impossible with the low-grade measurement equipment we all have access to typically.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
