well it depends on what you want, I have put way more into my exterior then the cost for the 3s swap into my cars exteriour it but i would recomend doing the swap first because chances are if you got the money and love speed it will end up happening regardless

a swap would be good if you did it yourself - but if you pay some one else than it'll be expensive
exterior would be cheap if you plann on just getting U.S. bodykits and painting - if you go with gt4 kits over seas than may be expensive |

when you say your friend do u mean ur self?
I say go with the swap, people with nice exteriors tend to get picked on by the crazy idiots who put giant park benches on their trunks and have super loud a55 mufflers. |

Ive put way more on exterior also that i would to do a swap....maybe being an Auto can explain why
I see it this way: show: can get money (for swap) in competition go: more risk of speeding tickets (less exterior mods) so theorically show is better to do first LOL

exterior first ... doing a swap on a budget (specially if its a very small budget lol) is a big no no. u wunna be financially stable before going for a swap. atleast thats what i think and go by...u gutta pay to play

it is true that it depends on what YOU want.. but in my opinion.. i'd go show.. but thats because I don't do any racing so I really have no reason for speed... so I would vote Exterior.
