Looks vs performance, what should come first?

ive done tiny cosmetic mods cause i am also on a tight budget.....and i cant afford to void my warrenty.....cause i have used it way to much.....if i wouldnt have had my warrenty i wouldve payed a lot of money so far for things that were hondas fault....
I think one of the best performance upgrade, one my do is to
upgrade the brakes. I added Carbotech pads and Superblue
fluid. These brakes are now truly track day ready.
I wouldn't make suspension mods because I'm not using all of
the suspension I have. If I want to improve my lap times the
best investment I can make is more practice.

Like it has been said before, unless you have a deep poket, the S2000 isn't a cheap HP per dollar car. With my civic I wanted to build the crap out of it and have a stpid fast car. Then I thought, I am going to put all this money into a Civic and at the end of it all I will still have a Civic. Not that thats a bad thing, I just felt like something with a little more class. I think the S with factory add ons like the lip, sides and lowered just a little looks killer, but until by warranty is up there is no way I am putting a SC or any other heavy mod on the engine. just my $.02
