yeah i'm definitely all about the function over form, that way, all you have to do is make the rear of your car look nice, cause that's all people are going to be seeing 
altho, these days it's hard to drive a day without seeing some altezza tail lights on a completely stock civic/cavalier/mommy's ride, not many cars done well around.. my town at least, it makes me sad!
yeah i agree with you baldy... hearing the car scream at redline always gives me chills, especially after i installed my SRI... such a sweet growl at WOT now

I guess i'll be the first to admit it...i am definitely all about the show. I honestly don't care how fast it is, as long as i look good getting there 8) Plus, i'm still learning about the 'go' process. I can do all the exterior mods myself, so the 'show' parts end up saving me money cuz i dun gotta pay ppl to do it.

See, i don't ever plan to race it at the track or anything like that. If guys wanna take me off the line, take me. I really don't care! lol For city driving, it's just more practical to me to not mess with the engine. I'd rather not buy parts that I really don't need and won't be using. Seriously, as long as my teg gets me around, I'm happy.
But yes, if you post some stuff up, i'd read it. This tech stuff is so confusing >< But you gotta start somewhere. I learned about suspension when i lowered my car, now it's time for under the hood!

Im a performance guy, and i dont mind a lil show, but my definition of "show" is "simplistic". i dont need a body kit or a wing to make my car look good to me, just nice subtle touches that only the well informed would know about.

See I agree with Eviloliv. Think about it, you go all show and your car LOOKS fast but is slow. You go all performance, and don't go show, people will say, "Oh a little stock integra, I can take those." But they race you and BOOM, you're gone. But it's nice to have some cosmetic touches here and there. Nothing to extreme but something that doesn't look like it came right off the lot. With my car I want people saying, "Man that's a clean Integra." And then people who know me to tell them, "yeah it's clean alright, but that things hauls balls." You know what I mean? My exterior is going to include, a lip kit, rims, a new paint job, the factory GSR wing, all red tails, and eventually a JDM front end conversion. The rest is engine, ALL ENGINE.
