Paint car or go fast?

Well, if you're like most DSMr's, making the car go fast will be neverending, as things break and the urge to do more will always be there. Once you paint, you should be good for the next 7-8 years, given you get a quality paint job. Not too many keep their cars that long, so if you put off painting over modifications, it will never be done(or the chances are you'll end up settling and doing it cheap, which equals regret, that equals money that could have gone to mods.)

I agree with this.
 
I ended buying performance parts. Just waiting for everything to come in now. I'm not trying to have the fastest car or anything like that. I'll be set with what I bought. The pain dosent bug me as much anymore.
Sounds good. I'd rather see a clean car with a solid build than a car with a 4000 dollar paintjob and no mods or crappy cheap parts.
 
paint job is not cheap. better off to get mods so you don't have to worry about paint because you will be getting new paint after. it will save a headache.
