thats right every time you wash the dirt off, think about how many grams you are removing and you are improving the aero dynamics because dirt makes the paint rough. :lala:

If I didnt want to impress chicks, I woulda saved the 400 on body work. Of course Ive got 3 times that in performance. Performance rocks and is of prime importance, but its so great to scare the crap out of some chick at the same time by going obscenely fast and fishtailing the car.

My car is at a point where it still looks ok. I could really care less about what people might think about the appearance of my car as I built it to drive and please myself, So obviously for me it is performance first. On the other hand I am about to have my car painted and polish my rims. I just cant seem to figure out a color that I wont get tired of! So I keep spending money on more performance goodies instead.
