if u modify it soo much that it just looks like u spent 10grand on stupid lil things and the car isnt that much of a fast car, ur gonna get a lotta shit on the road.

u should put ur mind more to performance parts so u can get better times on the drag strip, like my dad did, hes got a '95 model R33 GTS-T Nissan Skyline, and it currently does 12.9's at the drags on a stock turbo, and thats all from spending weekends working on the performance, and buyin better performance parts.

buh in the end, its your car, if u want a good looking car that doesnt go anywhere, then go ahead, buh if u want a good looking car that doesnt look REALLY bad and goes somewhere then go ahead too, its ur car

lolz this coming from a lil girl tha doesnt know anything bout cars lolz

Actually, a lot of the 'for looks' parts DO increase performance.

Rims - Lighter rims means a faster quarter mile
Hood - A Lighter hood, or a hood with intake will help the engine perform better/lighten the car
Spoiler (wing) - Decreases drag and/or keps the rear end from hydroplaning
Body Kits - Decreases drag and wind res.
Fresh paint - prevents rust (if done well)
Tires - grips the road better/perform better
etc.


PS
WJ, taking off the massive spotlight might lighten it a bit
