both if you can afford. SHow is all subjective. You make like warrior body kits and grocery cart spoilers.

Or you may be a minimalist and like few boy parts and only select what enhances the cars body lines.

It doesn't have to be go and ugly. It can be go and clean.

besides you all know you nut over a really fast extremely well done car that isued to its potential. IE: Nice supra's, RX-7's, WRX's, NSX's etc.

a little bit of both...and "show" is purely subjective amongst different people.
you may think you car looks good but someone else might think it looks like *** and vice versa...

plus in my book Speed will always be in style!

Having a 13 sec car (civic) is fun for a couple of months, then you just think; wow driving a soda can with a swapped motor sucks.

Nothing like taking girls out in a quick hatch with no ac, floor mats, or carpet. Especially if it rains! They love it

I miss daily drivers...

ill second that. but if you have a second car as a daily driver, the 13 second civic becomes a lot more fun.

Well since you put it that way, if I need to take a car for a "date" then i'll grab the keys to the full interior, A/C equipped, P/S, cruise, moonroofed 1992 Si hatch with the B16A2 then.

I could put my interior back in and still hit 13's all day long.
