Just get whatever YOU want... if you want looks, go for it. a widebody would be pimp if you wanted a show car or something. yeah the performance would be lacking but it's not like your car SUCKS stock or anything.

I take it you don't really have an s203

i'd go for performance also. IMO there are better looking (and cheaper!) body kits out there

A car should NEVER look faster than it really is.

ps: Widebody kits add drag, thus slowing your car down. Go for performance. I'm with Greg on the suspension suggestion. I say spend some on your suspension first. When you feel confident driving with your setup, then go for power mods.

Depends

on what you're doing. Also depends on the motor. I'd hate to wait longer than I do coming out of a sharp corner for the turbo to spool. But if I had a JDM Ver 7/8, it would be a different story. Higher compression, higher redline. But if you're with the people here that are after a car just for the drags, yeah, go big. Of course, if you're primary intent is to drag a Subaru, honestly, you should have bought a different car.

gdogg,

I've added a lot of weight to my car (fmic, bbk fr and rear, bracing, harness bar/belts, strut bars, stereo, amps, etc) and I'm at 2962 lbs, so about 120 less than stock. So yeah, I try to cut unnecessary weight, but my car is stiff in every sense.

That is an incredible amount of money to pay for plastic (or polyurethane or whatever it is).

I really want the OEM lip etc. but I can't justify spending money on that stuff. I'd buy a cheap plastic lip if I could since I know it will get destroyed anyway.
