my preference would be go then show. but everyone's different.

I just think that if your car looks great but drives like a dog then it's kinda :roll:

our tibs are already pretty quick, i would say do a little of both...go for the body kit + spoiler, then get turbo-compatible mods (like airram+bbtb+exhaust) and you would have spent about the same amount of money.
plus, now when you DO go turbo, it will kick ass even more and you will have a nice lookin' ride that is fairly quick in the meantime.

our cars already look like cop bait... so lets make them stick out more with a huge snowplow looking front bumper that will crack if you hit a pothole or a speedbump.
go turbo... why even ask?

I would definatly consider rims eith either choice... the look better with a kit than the stockers and they come in handy at helping to control the power of the Turbo.

Compared to what? a stock tib runs in what, the 16sec? That is pretty quick to you?

I remember, before the F&F era, a time when you saw a car with a body kit, you automatically knew that something mean was under the hood. It was a progression, firts the engien, then the exterior to match the engine. since you could go fast, you wanted to show that you could go fast. Now, people just what to show something they don't have...get the end result without the progression...

Get the car to move before it looks like it moves. It's like hooking up with a sweet chick and once at home, realising it's a man!!!
