what are you going for with your car?
some go for speed, some for looks, some for ice, some for nothing at all, etc... what are you going for? way back when i didnt know better and had money to burn i wanted speed so i got my SF kit 
now i'm a little older and a little wiser. guess i'm leaning towards ICE. i realize now my AT FWD 4 banger wasnt meant to go fast so since it'll take me longer to get there i might as well have some loud music to listen to on the way.

Rep Power: 489 I'm going for looks mainly. Maybe even a little rice... Body kit, undercar neons, etc. Limited ICE, since the trunk has only so much space and I have a kid on the way. Speed.... too expensive to go too fast, I need to save gas $$$ for rent.

Rep Power: 0 For me, the CRX is staying stock since I'll be autoxing it soon. My intent is to clean it up a little... it's got a wild 80's thing going on with the vinyls, but I'm going to pop a few dents and get it painted. Everything else is stock, though.
The CRV is another matter... I'm going to work on making it a show vehicle. That includes lowering, adding chrome and chroming out existing equipment. I'm considering changing the headlights too. Oh, and don't forget the paint job on the Vee too... it definitely needs one. I don't think I'll do much in the way of mods under the hood, but maybe I'll add a sway bar or something.
Nothing exciting...
with me it's mainly about aesthetics anyway...

Rep Power: 0 I wanted a clean look with really good handling. I am not too much into car sound since there is only so much you can do before you tax your charging system. Thats why I love my home theater. I have a few engine mods but since the ol d17 just does not make much power off any thing i have put on it I have decided to make it fun to drive. Besides its the first time in my life I have not been a sneeze in the cops direction from loosing my license.

Rep Power: 278 handling! Pretty much have the whole setup, I just need to change from Sportlines to Ground Controls, and get some "track only" wheels and tires. My goal is to become competitive in the STS class. Down the line I might add some subs and components, but autox is number one priority right now.

Rep Power: 330 stock look, 2 inch drop, good handling, ok system, HIDs, nothing else. probably gonna pay it off and buy an s2k or wrx or something. if a swap gets cheap that may be a possibility.

Rep Power: 310 show and mild handling. i am pretty much done exterior wise, all i have to do is re-do the interior and upgrade my springs, shocks, and struts, and i think i'll be done. *coughteinbasicstvscreensandautoleatherinteriorcough* 
but i'm sure i'll find something else to buy for my car.

Rep Power: 320 I went oem on the outside and rsx leathers on the inside. I'm saving for a hid retrofit and then probably stop there till swaps get cheaper or when i made enough money, trade it in for a is300.
