Since you're not a racer go SHOW .
Personally I would get the turbo but I think it will require a bit of upkeep.

Oh yeah, my 5 stars please.

go with both but dont think if you have a custom kit and a turbo your gonna win trophies cause you also have to have what no one else has like some custom shh.. its a long and hard road to get up to winning at the respectable shows..
good luck with what ever way you go..
just remember winning doesnt come easy..

just go for GO. I mean, it's an accent. yeah, you could dump money into it's interior and exterior, but it'll still be an accent. with GO, you can beat some of the other guys with civics or whatever, and then say, "yeah, it's still an accent, but i just beat your integra!" besides, the euphony of the blowoff valve will get attention, especially with you have a super sequential valve and you're pushin 15 pounds of boost.

I could be way off the mark, but if Kelly C is a girl then she probably does not want chicks drooling over her car, unless well you know.

Turbocharging is more of a long term committment and probably better suited to those with a fair degree of under the bonnett know how and excellent contacts i.e mechanics, tuners, dyno owners etc.

I would veer towards a blend of muscle and shine.

If you were going to outlay $5,000 to $7,00 then you should be able to get a capable N/A setup with CAI, Semi Aggressive Cams, Piping, BTTB and a couple of trinkets + Rims, Wing, Tinting, Springs.

Keep us informed either way.

holy ****!!!! u guys rock....

its nice to see everyone giving their opinion...
ok and now in response to all these....

i have decided it would be in best interest to go show....but like most people were saying on here their like you not gonna win shows with a bodykit...I never said i wanted to win car shows i want to only look very good where ever i go. I agree with most you need balls to back up a body kit but then again i don't really race anyways around town so people see my car their like "whatever" they won't line up cuz i don't....

anyways i have decided to go show...i have got a local scrap yard here that has an lc accent and i'm buying all the interior trim and getting it customized.....
next question is what two colors would look good together.....would metallic silver and metallic blue look like a good colorscheme????

also since someone tried to break into my car tonight while i was at work....would getting to door handles shaved and install remote poppers be a wise decision...is it easy to break into a car with poppers????or will it make it next to impossible because of that fact???

thanks again guys and as i promised 5 stars for everyone check you profile

and by the way mogul no stars for you for calling me a chick......you should know by now...everybody else does...j/k buddy

Thanks Guys
I'm Out

I say definately SHOW! it doesn't sound like your much into go, and to make a tiburon 'fast' it takes alot of money, time, and prayers to make it a real contender. the tibby is known for its looks, not performance. use it's god given gifts. people can make pigs fly, but it much easier to use a bird ( i know weird metaphor)
