Would I do it again? No. Go for looks. Women don't care how fast a car goes. They prefer how good they look in it. Why I chose a Roadster for my GF
I haven't even altered the Stereo. (The S13 had a few KW JL Audio in it)
If you are going to spend thousand making it go faster etc. Buy a faster car in the first place. It's like twin turboing a G37 or buying an M5. I'd get the M5
