function all day long

I would go function all day long. Bare in mind that the evo was designed for rallying so they put a pretty descent looking kit on it from the factory

I would say Function but I've done a good bit of Form also: Evo X GSR rims and tires, JDM rear, real 7 tails, JDM front side markers, tint, GTWorx springs (both form and function). Function: the list is longer then I care to type or most of you would probably care to read! LOL I prefer the function but still appreciate the form.

Screw form over function. Do what you want. You want more power. Do it.

You only need to worry about making it faster if you get beat. Once you're able to take all comers then make it look like you want it to look. Then save your $$ for repairs and/or the next car.

Whats the point of going fast if you cant look good doing it? Just my .02. Plus there are some parts that net you both, i would highly recommend the Beatrush undertray as a start!

Function. It's already a cheap-looking, unattractive car as it is. Why try and put lipstick on a pig?

great analogy.

Get wheels and a drop, and spend the rest on go-fast parts.

I think both are important, but I perfer function. The evo already looks good stock, maybe a drop and some wheels, but besides that I like PWR!
