Not a fan of show cars unless it's for competition in car shows or something where there is a potential to make money. Seriously, if you spend money on making the body look good and you are going to be driving it around a lot, it will deteriorate over time and the money you spent will go to waste. At least while focusing on performace, you are getting more out of it and you learn a lot by doing things yourself.

I'd rather have a car that looks like crap but will last a lifetime and move quickly rather than a shiney, lowered shitbox that is nothing more than a polished turd.
