equal amounts of both are nice, but I like show a bit more. it is generally a bit less expensive and gets you into less trouble while getting you more ***...

go before the show but it mix it up a little
if i were to get a body kit, id have to get it, installed, and painted within like a 2 week period... i dont wanna have to drive a primed ride

i also think its a waste to do all the fancy trimmed color matching seats and what no to the interior... i dont even have a radio

Wow, graveyard diggers at work.

I would have to say "go" or "show" depends. Of course, if the engine is not up to par in factory specs or running worse, the engine should be fixed ASAP. Then if the bodywork/interior is not in the condition it was before, it should be restored before extra engine mods are done. Personally, I'm not huge on fancy interiors or outrageous body kits.

I see beatup FC's everytime in my area. It would be nice to see a lot more in restored "like new" condition.

if it dont look good, then whats the point in owning a junker thats fast? thies are connering cars not drag cars, the highest model turbo 2nd gen only managed 14.9 thats slow man, a stock caviler could do that easy without any mods. so yea, show is more important that go with thies cars, not in the case of the 600hp mini vans, then no go wins out.

I'm all about the go, but I don't want my car to look like crap either. Its bone stock on the outside except for a vented headlight cover and the big-*** Greddy power extreme. Keeps the ricers and the cops away, and it could roast any honda.
