As long as the car isn’t really slow, i would have body work done first. I’m not a person who tracks my car, nor do i street race so as long as my cars are reasonably quick it’s fine for me. ---

i think handling is more important than speed. plus a lowered S13 with rims looks much better than stock. what’s the main purpose of your car though? daily driven racer? drift car? drag setup? that could sway opinions. ---

Looks then speed. At least give me something nice to look at after you smoke me. Only people whom dont have enough money call their fast rusted car a “Sleeper”. ---

Myself, while I do want my car to look decent, speed always wins in the end. I built my car so I could enjoy driving the way I like to drive. Fast. I didn’t build it to impress other people. And nothing beats the look on some peoples face after they get their ass handed to them by an ugly car. ---

If all goes well I’ll save enough by spring for new paint and a new turbo. And I may be a weirdo but using my car to pick up chicks is the last thing I would do with it. What if you sell the car? Will she drop you like a hot rock? Maybe that’s just me. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looks-vs-speed/141193.md?page=1)
