Default Show Vs. Go

So spring is on its way around here and since you americans have a really crap dollar right now it is a prime time to buy from the states.
So i have came up with a few things that i want to do with my car... but it all comes down to Show Vs. Go...
1. Wheels, 18" Gram Lights /w titanium lips
2. Carbon Hood, Trunk & Spoiler, carbon lip
3. Exhaust/Intake/Test pipe
4. Build head for turbo
5. Stage 4 clutch and Inline Pro diff swap
Whatda you guys think... what should i go with
Even though the car alreadys goes enough to get me in trouble

1) I have had 18" wheels ever since I owned the S for 5 yrs... I just recently switched to some Spoon sw388s and I will never go back to 18s ever again. The difference in handling accel braking etc even in daily driving is noticeable.
2) why bother? It doesnt save weight and its ugly unpainted... just buy a OEM lip spoiler.
3) intake would be worthless if you plan on going with F/I..
4&5) up to you on this, I think the rear diff swap is overkill depending on how much power you make.

What are your goals for the car? By the list you put up there seems you are somewhat undecided. I would figure out exactly what you want from your car in the end and then plan from there.

I'm all about go, just bolt on a blower and be done with it. Then replace parts as needed.

go ONLY for me. click the link in my sig - sleeper style!

Everyone that says "turbo is in future" won't get there. Don't buy stuff you don't need - just stick it in a savings account and wait until you can afford the entire bulk purchase of the turbo. If you don't do it this way, you'll never get there and you know it.
