Default Turbo or Custom Paint

I am planning to install a Turbo Kit on the car. I spent lots of $$$ on my SC kit but i want more power. It will cost me alot to switch to Turbo (when I say turbo, I mean 400+ whp). On the other hand, since I am already FI and have 355 whp, I can get the car painted with a Custom Paint for a unique look.

Which would you do? A unique look or more power???

Here is the color I am thinking about. Oh BTW, I think my photoshop skills are getting better

If you already have 355 hp.. I'm assuming you mean whp too... then honestly a turbo is just going cost you way more than a paint job, and you're going to run into more problems trying to build a 500 whp car than just painting it and being happy with it. If you want that much more power I don't feel the S is the car for you to begin with. I'd suggest just selling the car and buying something more along the lines of an FD or Supra.

I vote for neither and get a motorcycle if you really want the speed.
