I'd go for 'go' as well... This year, I'm not spending a single cent on exterior mods, it's all going into the engine. I'm really into the 'sleeper' look, or what Car and Driver used to call the Q-Ship.

the question was would you pick show or go if someone gave you 20g's to spend on your car. im happy with the way mine looks, so i could dump 20g's in the engine and not think i should have spent it on show.

1st, id buy a keyboard that isnt stuck on caps lock, second id buy a computer program that boosts my spelling/typing skills. and then id focus more on go but i really wouldnt want $20k worth of go. id rather have $7k worth of go and the rest for show. now if i had my supra now, id put all $20k into GO cuz the car looks so damn beautiful stock anyways

Wheels/tires/suspension all counts as Go parts, because they all serve a purpose. Granted some hurt more then they help but thats upto you. ::
