Default Body or motor?

I want to get myself a Christmas gift. Should I go for the body and finish it or should I do more motor work? Thinking of getting OEM carbon fiber hood, trunk and fenders. Or, I want to buy a new turbo, chip and intercooler. Confused, someone guide me.

Hmmmmm,

I am surprised you haven't done a chip yet, looking at your other mods.

How much cabbage are we talking here?

I'm a motor guy first, looks last. I'd rather be stealth, seems to get me into less trouble.

I would do chip for sure, maybe exhaust also.
If you have more money than that, then add coilovers to the mix.
Then brake upgrades.
Then gt2781r, stage2-4 clutch, intercooler, injectors, test-pipe.
Only now would I even start to think carbon or body kit. (but thats me, im not you, I hope you were real good this year so Santa will deliver!

Go before show. When your car looks nice everyone is gonna want to race you, and then spank you. Not cool!! With the kit people will assume your fast and laugh when you are not. With out it people will assume that you aren't and then cry when you whoop them

I want around 250hp to 300hp, do you think a K04 will support it? When I do get the FMIC it will be from Evolution motorsports. I am thinking motor but I wanted some suggestions. Getting whooped in a nice car is definately not fun. Whooping people in a sleeper is way fun. Good idea.

If you get the j31 file and k04 you will get what you are looking for.
But then youll deffinately need a fmic, injectors and afpr.. and plugs... Possibly clutch upgrade soon after.
