Body kit, because you won't find a SC for $3K installed.

you can get LD1s for 3.5k everyday, you can't find SC kits for 3k installed anytime in the near future.

I would go for the supercharger definetly because you see GS's with 20's and bodykits all the time but you hardly see GS's with superchargers. Well I never seen one yet.

I honestly think a body kit is the way to go. Whats the point of having a fast car if it still looks stock. A nice bodykit will set you apart from the rest of the everyday Lexus. Yeah, you might not be as fast, but then again, you cares. You'll look phat cruiz'n down the street at 35mph.

no offence.. but are you a ricer? because thats how ricers talk. Lots of people would rather have power instead of looks.... just answering ur question the point of having a fast car that looks stock is so if a ____________ (insert just about any car here) comes up to you you can look at him and race him, if you have abody kit and everything done up... lots of cars wont touch you because there is a higher chance you have something under the hood. Its all preferance

agreed.

I would rather have a sleeper look with crazy power rather than full kit/huge rims/loud stereo. V300's car used to be pretty stock looking, but just knowing the fact that it's fast makes me admire it!

Supercharged sleeper. Car looks fine already. For me, being fast is more important than looking fast. And I'm already too depressed about every scratch & paint chip -- a body kit is just more to worry about.

1) Let's keep the "Ricer" comments off the board. Very insulting. (sorry, took offense) 2) I guess my point was that it's more impressive to me to see a ______(Supra) running 11's in the quarter with a clean bodykit,18in. wheels, and a kick *** stereo system than a _____(Supra) running 9's that looks stock, stock wheels, but is boosting 24psi. But then again, you're right, it's all preferance. After all, I didn't buy my Lexus to race, did you? Maybe that should be a poll...
