I guess i've focused on the get go as of now.. but the FC's stock lines are such beauty I haven't needed to improve on them yet!

right now the only thing that says the car isn't stock from the outside is the exhaust... by next week my springs show up so hopefully it'll get a little sportier stance. and then the FMIC needs to be finished and built.. ahh the list

In the last month I have received (3) 1st place best Mazda trophies from different shows and my car still runs in the 11's so I guess I could say that I have both show and go.

i think you need a good combination of both. Personally i couldnt drive an ugly fucked up car even if it was crazy fast. Thats just me though... I need some comfort and pride in my car.

They like your customized bumper

You don't really have much 'show' items done that i can recall wheels and suspension? rest is just the beauty of the FC lines? now you rmotor on the other hand is another store

I rather blow them away in a POS than a nice car. The look on their eyes would be priceless

The stock FC is a beautiful car already... But it could use a boost in the speed department.

Make the "fast" car truly ugly and I just might choose the "pretty" car.

i agree with most of you, the fc's stock lines and styling are guite nice on thier own, and a car can never bee too fast or handle too well.
