Default How did you build your car?

Given the discussion that raged in the "AutoSalon" thread, I thought it would be good to put together a poll just to see who would put themselves in which category!

same option ( in the middle ) for all my cars although i haven't spent much on the rex yet. in regards to my VK , i want it to look neat, clean etc but ive also done some engine work to make it perform better. the rex go the same way when i get around to it.

im not into all show, no go. i don't see the point in spending bulk $$ on paint, body kit, interior etc to make it undriveable, i like to be able to drive my cars when ever i want

In the middle.

My car has the bits to make power, and I want it to look nice too without being impractical...

That being said, I like fitting bits and pieces to it that are rare, or that not too many people have i.e. EGR kit, Work VS-XX and the (coming soon) JDM STi HID projector headlamps. It makes it stand out just that little bit more without being OTT.

I rate both looks and performance highly….however my idea of good looks is a set of lightweight Japanese rims with a low offset, lowered, tint and a cf front lip. Not big on body kits of any kind really.

Performance wise I’ll do whatever I can afford, no such thing as fast enough.

most will be in the middle id say, people on here mod their wrxs but also dont wanna drive around one that looks like shit. Few go for the sleeper look so leave it stock looking. i dont like anything over the top, huge kits, graphics, neons thats just doesnt do it for me, just the basic cosmetic mods to liven it up abit, clear inidcators/taillights, fog light covers, fmic, rims, tint etc thatd be about it for me. Mods just some decent bolt on upgrades is enough for me, its my daily so dont want anything over the top.
