BlackJack - Poll - Appearance

Well, the turbo is almost ready, and now is time for a decision on what to do with looks. Basic idea is, I can't decide on if I want to bait people into meeting me at the track, or surprise them.

1) Keep going the direction I was going with full race look, finish the hoodscoop project I started integrated into one-piece F/G front end, side-exit triple pipes, etc.

2) Go total sleeper, back to complete stock look, rims and all.

3) Stay where it's at on appearance but finish painting the body kit to match (factory silver).

I'm not a huge fan on show-car looks, and have always leaned towards an all-business appearance. I feel indecisive and keep talking myself into each one on alternate weeks....heh. Help me out? I'll run this poll for a month, and see what the majority consensus is. Most of you have decent taste, or I wouldn't ask

Man, I can see where you'd be stuck here, I voted full race because that would just be too cool...sleeper would also rock though...sorry I guess I'm not really helping lol

well, here we are only a few days into the poll, and already have alot of votes. I appreciate the input so far, and by all means, please keep the votes coming

On another note, if I go back to full stock look (which I'm undecided on yet until the poll closes) I'm going to have to go through major surgery to sink that radiator into the steel bumper and lose alot of front end structural strength just to get the stock bumper cover on. When I do, airflow to the intercooler will be reduced significantly through that narrow air duct on the stock cover. Just a thought, and something to consider in weighing the options.
