Sure, the GSX would (and still does) stomp way more *** than the RWD G will ever be capable of, but I had to do just that for people to understand it wasn't stock.
While I have headers, y-pipe, intake, etc. waiting to install and will order the MREV soon, I still get a ton of looks with just the NISMO front and DS rear spoiler! Better yet, I'm happy as can be everytime I see my car.
My G's stock power is enough to justify the looks. More power will come for me, but I'm looking so fine right now that I'd almost rather get wheels/tires on before I have the other stuff installed.
I used to be all about performance and didn't do anything purely cosmetic, so I understand... ...I couldn't justify $3K on a kit... ...but I did find a nice compromise between performance/cosmetics that will leave me with a slightly modified, well-rounded ride.

I'll take performance 1st and the 'boy racer' look 2nd. A nice set of wheels and 'de-badging' etc. are all the cosmetics I'll usually go for (I'm an old shyt though..lol) . 2 each his own..........it's all good
