say you went out and bought a new car.you bought a car that is very nice but a bit underpowered not much but more than your used to,and you going to fix it up a bit more......which would you do first?
a-get it lowered/lifted/wheels
b-modify it for more power.
Why put actual performance on your car, when you can just make it look like you did? That way, you look really cool for all your buddies, and they all smile in awe as they stare at your sticker laden, spoiler sporting, 20 inch chrome riding, Geo Metro. Rice is so cool...
