Who is stuck in the same cosmetic boat?

I want to put some cosmetic stuff on but I feel like I need to get power and handling out of the way before I go throwing on the show stuff. I'm slowly approaching my goal but I can't bring myself to purchase the front lip, jdm rear, and voltex rear diffuser until I'm finished or at least close to finish the other two areas.

I refuse to buy cosmetic parts until my motor is complete.

It all depends on each person. Although cosmetic stuff would be nice, everything has a place on my list and cosmetic stuff isn't high up there besides maybe jdm rear

I was in the same position, til I realized I'm happy with where the car is now since it's my DD.

Now I'm just paying her off and putting some money aside for cosmetic stuff...wheels, JDM rear, etc as it comes.

I get compliments on the stock body. Lots of people say wow nice body kit how much you spend on it. I say its stock. needless to say cosmetic stuff on the car is way down on the list, except I do want a better paint job. more candy shine color instead of the stock faided looking cheap.

Mix it up. Do a power mod, then get an exterior mod till your new power mod seems slow again. haha

Power then cosmetic. I mixed it up. I got up to 330WHP then started doing cosmetic things. Now I'm back to doing more power mods.
