Default Whats more important?

So basically about 2 months ago i bought a 2000 A4 1.8TQM. It is just about the sickest car i have ever driven in my life. Well, when i bought it it had been accidentally driven through a barbwire fence so it is covered in scratches and there is a few small dents in the left rear fender. Absolutely nothing is wrong with the engine and it was owned before me by a extremely reputable audi shop (2Bennett Audimotive). So far i have put a Baileys DV on, done the airbox mod, put on some AWE pedals, and i bought it already APR chipped. So the big question is, this summer for my birthday should i do performance upgrades(borla exhaust, boost gauge, etc.) or throw on a carbon fiber hood to get rid of the hood dents and scratches(where it is the worst) and possibly get the dents out and paint? Thanks

I would normally say performance before show, but in this case I do think you should clean it up. I mean a Datsun is naturally ugly, so even if you get smoked it's not your preferred choice car right? Anyways, I don't know about a Carbon Fiber hood, but your car should look good man, you deserve it. If it wasn't chipped I might tell you something else, but in this case I think it's good to clean it up a little. Just my opinion.
