So.. now that I have my turbo, the occasional race from time to time feels like "cheating" without some form of notification that what I've got isn't stock. So here's a poll for ya.

As plain and stock as possible on the outside with some special performance features on the inside. The wolf in sheeps clothing approach.

I agree, the look on their faces will be worth it...

No need to advertise everything you put under the hood. Keep it clean, and surprise them.

Chris,
Look at like this, it's pretty easy to see the large exhaust and your huge FMIC. If that doesn't give them a clue then the deserve what they get. By the way, when I said large exhaust, I wasn't talking about the mufflers. From behind it's relatively easy to see underneath the rear of our car and see the 3" diameter piping. Generally you'll lose power with an exhaust that big unless...

Heh, looks pretty overwhelming in favor of the stock look. Where's Bieg when you need him.

What about from the side? I know you can hear the mufflers and exhaust system, but otherwise there's nothing to really give it away. I guess I feel cheap when I toast the pants offa cars.. they never really know what hit them. I was just debating putting a small "turbo" sticker under the s2000 logos on the side, much like wes has (I think, I can't remember) the "Supercharged" stickers.

But the poll has convinced me pretty much to stay stock. No crazy spoiler here.

I love a sleeper too....to bad there's few sleepers in this town. But then again, all the cars that are fixed up and sporting the 'ricer' look are usually slow.

Most of my friends are ricers

Stock look, no stickers, except what you need to compliment the turbo; exhaust, etc. Nice!
