the modifications should match the car - a full body kit will do very little for most fast cars. whats it going to do on a shitty 1.1i?! NOTHING!
whats the point in driving anyway? speed really isn't it?!
Ok here's my 2 cents. I've been modding my car for the past two years now. It's a 2001 2.2L Cavalier, Sedan no less. It has full body kit, Cold air intake, 17 inch tires, CAT back exhaust, custom hood, custom paint, air brush graphics, custom painted interior, Vert doors (front) suicide doors (rear), flip flop trunk, and half a dozen other things that I don't want to bore anyone with. Why did I do it??? Why the hell not it's my car. Did it add weight??? Probably. Does the car handle any different??? Nope. Does the fuel consumption suck??? No more than it did before the mods. What a person does with thier cars is a personal thing. If someone is happy driving around in a S*** box, fine as long as their happy. If a person is happy driving a stock station wagon, more power to them. I had an affordable daily driver that I wanted to make personal, something that would stand out of the rest of the thousand like vehicles out there. What has the body kit done for my car. Nothing but esthetics. But it has won awards at various car shows in Canada. It started as a daily driver, and it still is. And as for dumbest question on the post about why drive. Well let me tell you something friend. Speed isn't everything, I'm a police officer by profession. You wanna go fast go to the track. It's really not worth the ticket. And believe me, nothing will drive your insurance rates up faster than a few charges on you record.
I'd still check the scoop on the WRX before assuming it is anything but decoration. Most manufacturers feed air for intake and intercooling through the front bumper.. there's more room, it's cooler and there's more pressure there than sitting on top of the engine.
