Default Show vs Go?

I read a recent thread about drilled/slotted rotors which brought this question to mind. Then there are ALL those wheel threads. Personally I'm somewhere in the middle, I'm a bit of a wash and wax junkie, but I don't have much additional exterior bling, just a front lip and windshield tape removal. I will probably go FI, but when I do I will keep the exterior quiet and stock looking. I'd rather have a fast car that looks stock than a completely tricked out exterior that is no faster than factory (you KNOW who you are )

Cheers,
Mike

All go baby... my rear bumper and one taillight has been completely busted for 5 months. I used the insurance money from the hit and run to pay for gears, VAFC2, and a J's header

I would like to be all go. Supercharger and gears are my future dream mods. I'm sure I want to increase the boost in the future as well. The only exterior mods I have (which were already on the car when bought): OEM hardtop, OEM rear spoiler, OEM front lip (which I recently cracked ), and chromed stock wheels.

How many times have you taken your car to the track and ran it until you roasted your brake pads? If never then you are all show.
