I would have to say 50/50 for performance and looks. I just want my car to go quick and look nice. I don't mean huge bodykits(which do not look nice in my opinion), just a nice lip, nice side skirts, nice wheels and nice clean paint.

Decent Poll I voted for 75% Perf 25% looks but, In reality I would choose more like 90% perf

Although, I try to find things that do both

80% go fast stuff but I always have a "clean" car. If I get a door ding it`s gone withing two weeks. I wash my car once a week. And I spend a few bucks on cosmetic items so I don`t look like everybody else

Performance!!!

As long as I can out-perform everybody. I don't care if my car looks stock. Besides, our cars look good stock.

i'd say 90% performance 10% show... actually, probably more like 98% performance 2% show.. the only thing "show" on my car are the 16s and tint

90% performance, 10% looks

I'm into the sleeper philosophy.

I'm modding my car because I like speed and acceleration...

Not interested in attracting attention...

Default Re: how would u spend your money? (orange_civic)

I didn't vote because like other people, it's about 80% go and 20% show for me. My car has a cracked windshield, numerous dents and holes, but I love the fact that people want to challenge the piece of **** that is my car.

The look on people's faces is priceless when they get beat.

Now my GF on the other hand, is all SHOW no GO. But I guess that's how it is with most girls...

ALL performance, no joke.

looks is fun too, dont get me wrong, but I have way too many things to buy before I make my car look good to someone else.
hmmm, next on the shopping list...
Buddyclub catback, ITB's, Motec, Spec C's, HID's, front cage loop, Porterfield pads, undertray, cf hood, lexan windows, etc.

I said 75-25 i would rather go fast then look all bling bling style. (I've done the bling bling thing in the past and am over it ) in the looks dept. all i want is rims , front lip, oem rear lip, cf hood , and maybe mirrors. After that its all power mods from there on out
