looks are a waste of money.
What do you spend more time doing, looking at your car or driving it?
Performance is more fun, plus you make your car stands out way more to thiefs and cops when you rice it out. If the stock part does the job the same as an aftermarket one why change it?
The only best of both worlds mod is a nice set of wheels with some sticky tires.
As long as you have nice paint and wheels, who cares?
If you're not into driving hard don't even waste money on suspension, less ground clearance is just a pain in the ass and your sacrificing drivability purely for asthetics? please.

That's all subjective.

My mode of transport is neither show nor go. It is just loud. And it uses a lot of gas.

People say that, but there's always a time and place to have some fun in your car. (not inferring street racing)

I do go WOT all the time, but just because I hate my D16.

That's a bad retort and you ignored some points I had.
