Performance before looks, but if you want some of both at the same time, put a flashy intake under the hood, some big exhaust, some nice rims and drop da b***h!

i know i am too poor to make my dx go fast. so right now i am just trying to go for looks. i mean i am doing the simple stuff like intake header exhaust. but right now my main thing is audio and looks.

IMO, go performance if you are really concerned with speed and racing and what not. if thats not your bag or not something you plan on doing, go for looks. but if you DO go for looks, at least put on like an intake and maybe some small performance mods.

If you leave your car stock (body wise) it'll look clean and then you can invest your money on making it fast. That way it'll look could and still surprise people when they flex on you.

Well, as my cx right now is ugly as sin, I'm going mostly for looks right now: Almost every body panel on it was crumpled!

New doors, fenders and rear bumper have been done. Still need: Front bumper, skirts wheels and tires.

Doing the engine at the same time though- once I get all the fender benders taken care of, before paint and wheels it will be getting a D16Z6, intake and header with exhaust.

Then new shoes. After that seats and interior mods.

Next year I plan on building an engine. No idea what yet, still just thinking of the options and costs.
Car will be a daily driver, as well as a trainer for auto-X. Much cheaper if I learn how to cross in this than my vette!

Yeah since I have a very limited budget I'm going for looks foremost, since the cops around these parts are real hardasses, there really is no neccesity to have a fast car at all, so, right now, I'm just going for looks.

heres a formula that will work, spend equal amounts of time and money on each first do some speed upgrades then do some looks, and if you do it trght you can do both at the same time, example a vtec controler looks hell of nice in a car and helps your car, a cf hood eventhough it is a looks thing it does do a weight reduction, hey 5lbs is 5lbs. so go for both but there is a line that cant be crossed like a really fast show car that is too hard to attain. it has been done but not by someone like you or me

Looks=heads turning + maybe girls + passed by everyone

Speed=No one wants to drive next to you because they're scared

Looks+speed=all of the above

Mines the first one without the girls but not for long.
