Show or Go?
Just interested in what's more important 2 u guys. Good looks and fancy body kits or go fast parts? Personally looks are at the bottom of my list. The 370z is already sexy hell I'm trying 2 make it fast as hell. I'm perfectly fine with the car looking stock with 600hp.

Performance.... however where are you going to use more than 332HP? Are you tracking your car? 600HP on the street is a waste - that's a bigger peni$ extension that a Firebird with the golden eagle on the hood....

I'll go with "go" because like you said, the 370 is sexy from the start. It's just as sexy as a FD3S. FD's looked good w/ or w/o spoiler, base or R1 model regardless. 370 is likewise. And this is all stock. The 370 could benefit from a slight lowering job, but what car wouldn't?
I'd like to be 500hp sleeper with a GTM TT-kit, but I'd paint the intercooler flat black so that no one knows it's turbo...well, until I blow their doors off. |

normally I'd go for "go" before "show".
but since it's gunna be a 1st hand car I'm getting. I'm gunna go with "show" 1st this time. why? I wanna get used to the car's original performances 1st. Even tho the car is already sexy as is, I want it extra sexier than I'll go with bolt-ons, wait and see what the market's got on TT's than Show&GO! |

you can go fast some of the time but you can look good all the time.
but honestly, I want both. last thing I want is a ugly fast car or a beautiful slow car. never been a fan of body kits though.

The only things I'm doing (in order)
Window Tint - because sunlight is bright, and it'll keep the interior "better" Exhaust because it'll have a sound to match the performance Intake just because of doing the exhaust - might as well help the front end too... Snow plow - just to get the WTF look out of people. Trailer hitch - so I can pull a bass boat Roof Rack - so I have a place to put my camping gear Of course, 3 of those are for laughs... |

I will say for me, its show before go....BUT exhaust mods I consider show because I like the sound more than actually caring about the performance increase since I don't track the car. With that said though, I still try to add things that sound good that give the best performance increase so its "go" and well as "show"
Now I'm confused lol. |

Functional has always been my main concern...I'm not a big bodykit fan...but if its actually functional I am open to the idea for my car. You just have to set your goals for the car and do what YOU want and whats important to YOU!

GO! I think Nissan did a really good job with the styling so any "show" mods I do will be very subtle.

I'm for "go"! Maybe once I'm finished installing a S/C for it I'll start on the looks.
