Mod or Wheels?

Chassis composure. True that the M has big time toe-in, and as such is prone to feathering/scalloping under hard driving, but it went way beyond this. The car I drove had the sport pkg as well (wtf is that, anyway- its an M already??!!
), including 19s shod with Contis. I don't think the Contis are as good a tire as either the 050 or PS, or PS2. But man, that thing stuck, stuck and stayed stuck some more, regardless of my abuse, and the abuse from Canadian roads. I'm not into lowering for looks; if it's not for performance, forget it. But if there was only one thing that I was going to drop some coin on for the G, it would hafta be suspension.

1. 8K can give you a nice Single Turbo with gauges and install, but since you spend your money to the turbo, your car will look like stock. Good if you want a sleeper but it won't turn a lot of heads(except for real enthusiast when the hear that BOV or that little radiator look alike called intercooler)
2. 8k can get you some nice rims/suspension and might still have extra money for a nice body kit. Now this will turn some heads but you won't impress a lot of hardcore enthusiast.
This is the dilemma I’m going through
making my G look good is a good thing but I’ve been modding my car since my Honda/Acura day. I’ve had a SC car but never had a Turbo and that is something I would like. but getting older has lots or responsibility and I’m not sure if I can shell out that money for maintenance.
I guess this has been a problem for most, Speed vs. Looks, combining both is major $$$$
