If you're happy with the performance, don't force yourself to spend money. The car already looks great, so it sounds to me like you're done!

I will let the car speak for itself. I choose speed over blaring looks.

If a Pontiac Aztek could do 60 in 4 secs, the 1/4 in 12 and top out at 160, would you still want it and be proud to drive it everyday, everywhere?
If a Diablo couldn't go over 90 mph, couldn't get to 60 in less than 13 secs, got beat in the 1/4 by a Hyundai Accent, would you still lust after one?

Well I think that first

A. Im going to SLAM the car to the ground.
B. Im going for BPU upgrades, intake exhaust maybe header.
C. Body kit. ( NO veilside) look like an asshole with that.
D. 19's all around

Im going to pimp like never before. And I was thinking about having a pink one just for shits and giggles but decided not to.

To the silver car with the Turbo it looks like.. 286 RWHP is not very much... My buddy pulls the wastegate on his supra when it was stock and went well over 300... 286 for all that money is not worth it. If I spent 5 grand and didnt have 400 rwhp and an 11 second car.. Its not worth it to me.

I could go buy a supra and for like maybe 300 or 400 dollars I get a full exhuast and pull the wastegate and run in low 12's easily..

Throw a full exhaust boost controller and a couple other minor bolt on parts and your in the 11's with an automatic.... and the torque is unreal.

I think the car already looks good, except the lights just have to be cleared, just a personal thing. After that I would add a blower for sure. For some reason I just think automatically that the nicer the car the faster it should go...there are obviously exceptions to this, but whats the point of having a really nice car and when you have nothing to back it up with?
