Hmmm......
Boost = $$$$$$$
Paint = $$
If you go boost, be ready to EMPTY your wallet.

EDIT: Someone said above if you go boost you'll forget about paint. Yes, you will, because you'll be spending your money on aquiring more boost. I'd get the car painted and then work on boost. You've got some power already with the B18. Just my .02.

And if you go paint, be ready to wish you went boost
Import tuning is expensive. I'd rather go fast then worrying about what the exterior looks like, although i'd eventually like to get a paintjob done on my car. I would definitely go boost before painting my ride though.

hmm, lookin like boost may be the answer, i will try and get some pics up as soon as possible. Im just afraid that my engine wont last year, i was look inat the revhard 2c kit. I want to look good whilel kickin some domestic ***. So i guess the questionis, u think with normal driving my engine will last a year, with 7 or so pounds of good ol boost
