Power or Body Kit?

I personally went with the sound first $2000 in stereo then with looks and now performance- looks the only thing i did with my gs was the bomex front end- the rest of the kit is ugly in my personal opinon and a wing- you have to do your research though you ought to know with the bomex you CANNOT get any fog lights to fit the front end unless you buy the kit with them and just the front end with the fog lights unpainted is around $900...And if you turbo your car without doing alot of engine work it wont last long and it will put alot of stress on your engine period.
Do a mix get exhaust headers and a front end and wing- as long as you can look outside in your driveway and love your car there isnt anything better :dsm: OMG
 
my cars primer grey with a half interior. But im droppin a 100 shot on the motor. hehe, Looks arent everything.
 
ahhhhh the rice vs. race issue will never die, but what it all boils down too and when all the dust is settled its whoever owns the damn cars decision on what he likes. in the end the car is still a dsm representing on both fronts. cuz either way our cars are awesome rice and race but personally id get a little power first cuz like they said with the body kit you will get challenged alot but u dont have to race soo what ever u want bro

If that is all that the site is about, then why do we have a non-performance forum?

I have een saving my money for the past few weeks and have about $1400 to spend on my 95 GS Eclipse. I am looking at doing a lot to the car, but I was wondering what you guys thought I should do first. There are two options: The first option being I can buy a Greddy Evo exhaust and 4-1 header, AEM Version 2 CAI and an U/D pulley and possibly a B&M short shifter. Or should I buy the Bomex body kit? Whichever isn't done first will be done second for sure. Your input would be great!


I have made my car look good , bodykit, lowering, wheels, tinted windows, but its an RS. I love the heads it turns, but my car looks fast. Every person that I pull up next to at a stop light starts reving ther engine as loud as they can, Granted I can take most of them, but i just gets annoying, My suggestion is wheels and tires of course, coilovers and then make your car go fast!!!:dsm:
 
but it all comes down to your personal preference.. i personally wouldnt care if my car was a 8 sec car if it was ugly as hell.. i mean shit it all comes down to looks in most peoples minds.. but performance is equally thrilling dont get me wrong.. sometimes im really confused about this subject i love performance, but.. i really want my car to standout from the crowd... thats what its all about to me.. to get it to stand out from performance is a not as challenging as looks in my opinion.... the real challenge is to come up with an idea which doesnt look the same as another when it comes to exterior and interior.. looks are a little more challenging to be different and look good at the same time! grant it u may come up with an arguement that someone may be able to get more hp than someone else with his or her cams etc.. but if u are just an everyday driver like me whos gettin tickets left and right from performance sometimes u wonder if u shouldve left it stock.. speed is addicting..... looks dont get u those kinda probs..LOL
