Performance vs. Looks - which way to go?
 

Ok, so I have a 95 gst. It runs fine now. Here is my list of mods, fixes:

Dejon Intake
IC hard piping
MBC
Boost gauge
1G BOV
Catch can
Catless exhaust
Aftermarket muffler
New OEM clutch/bearing
New Alternator
New Battery
New Belt
1 New motor mount
Coilovers
Some other minor stuff

Ok, so I was going to paint my car, but it snowed out here and I got to thinking maybe I should wait until the winter. I was also thinking I should handle my friggin suspension issue which I currently think is my control arms. Should I paint my car or should I repair the susension? I have a 97 bumper and the headlights sittin in my apt now.

I personally think I should tackle my suspension issues and wait until spring to paint my car since during the winter they sometimes throw down salt and will plow the roads dumping snow onto your parked car.

What do ya'll think?

definately suspension. Depending on how much snow you get faulty suspension could get you into a lot of trouble, and like you said, might as well wait to get your car painted so its just one less winter on that paint job.

I would say do the suspension, then the beslts/battery ect. Do all of the mantinence stuff too or you might be really sorry. Then I would personally paint it, if it looks like crap. Your car is alredy pretty fast as it is.

While your at it with the control arm might as well throw some lowering springs on there as well;)

why not get some coilovers and fix the other suspension stuff... way better then paint....

Id just rather have springs and struts. Especially with the difference in price

**** aesthetics up the ass.

Hahaha, thanks guys. My ego was saying PAINT!

RE: Performance vs. Looks - which way to go?
 

Definitely the suspension. If it goes out you'll be doing more than just painting your car.
