If you have a co pilot, it seems well worth it to use them as a spotter utilize the trailer hitch. And if you are visiting larger attractions, they usually have more user friendly parking- Chicago Museum of Art had underground parking, Metroflex had a dirt field, when I did my adventure.
All points above are valid. There are two ways to do modifications: maximizing return on investment, and maximizing appearance. Elbow grease and efficient scavenging/purchasing is best for ROI. Keep in mind many builds have calculated pay offs in them, but are planning on a few thousand miles. You know right now 35k miles. On a vehicle with such poor aero to start, differences will mean more, and most definitely pay off. I would advise packing some extra supplies- specifically zip ties and scissors. Every modification I have on each of my vehicles can be removed or mended with these two tools, which is another perk to making ROI a main focus and avoiding complexity.
Another perk you have for this circumstance is higher ground clearance. I can't fit my body under the Mustang, and can't get my shoulder under the Insight. Replacing the starter under my S10 Blazer in a Home Depot parking lot was cake because of ground clearance.
