Paint or Supercharger?
So, I should be getting a lovely Christmas Bonus in a few months, and I'm trying to decide how to spend it on my Elise.
Should I get a BWR Supercharger (which I could then upgrade to the super-awesome VF kit later on), or should I get an epic paint job?
The epic paint job being, probably, lamborghini green (keep in mind that my wife drives the flat black lotus exige s with the glossy pink racing stripes, so we do have a thing for paint).
The BWR supercharger is kind of obvious.

I voted SC. I was about to say something else. Like a sick set of ultra lightweight yet stylish wheels. I dunno if you already have that and suspension though?

haha, I actually like the OEM lotus wheels. I havent done any suspension work, but a.) it is a lotus and has a pretty decent suspension to begin with and b.) I daily drive this car, so I dont want to make the ride much worse than it already is
Thanks guys!Damen Knight
