Taking a poll on what I should do:

1) KurumaZ front bumper (w/ mesh), '06/'07 projector headlights upgrade, and '06/'07 rear tail lights (w/ overlays)

OR

2) HKS full exhaust system

 

i would personally enjoy the sound of the exhaust note than looking at the car... you know its always more fun to drive and gas it so i voted for hks

 

go for looks b4 performance

 

It all depends which is more important to you right now. Do you want the exhaust note more than the styling right now? Vice Versa.

 

other way around in my opinion....

 

why go for performance rather than looks? i think u should definitely go for looks before performance cuz ur not gonna be racing everyday and everyone knows our cars arent fastest...wouldn't u like looking at the car more than just hearing the exhaust? thats just me. get the front bumper btw cuz thats whats gonnna get noticed the most.

 

you got it all wrong, the looks you're going for arent gonna look good, ilas time i checked the kuruma hangs lower than stock, so you may wanna consider sides and possible rear, and it doesnt stop there, then you need it painted, and you should go somewhere good otherwise the colors wont match so its gonna cost a pretty penny, then add on the headlight and tail lights, you could probably buy 2 hks exhausts before you completed the look.

 

do you spend more time in the car, or looking at it from the outside?

i spend more time inside listening to it than gazing at it lovingly (i probably would if my desk had an outside facing window...), so i would go for the exhaust, besides, loud exhausts save lives...

if you don't drive it much, and have a good view, go for the looks,

 

i'd say looks, really. i think, especially living in chicago, that i can only go so fast so why waste loot on speed? i might as well have the ride looking good instead of "speeding" in a 35. =-]
Besides, i think that our cars come with a great exhaust tone straight from the factory.

 

i say HKS and 06 headlights and tails!!! the KurumaZ bumper it to low it would look ok but you will need sides to

 

performance mods first and drive the car a while before you do all the body stuff. car could get damaged going into and out of shop so much. put icing on cake after the cake has been baked.

 

That's a nice way to think of it!

 

So let me get this straight; even though my car is lowered on Tein S-techs, I would still have to get sides in order for the KurumaZ to look good?? How bad would my ride look if I just opted for the KurumaZ without sides??

If that's the case, then I'm better off sticking with the stock bumper and just adding on mesh.

 

Performance > Looks

Well, our cars already look hot to begin with

Go with sound/performance!
