Show or Go?

Man, I'm halfway to my goal and I'm really torn between what to do first. The results will happen within a few months.

I currently have a base 2.5L 986 that has a very dated body. Despite upgrading the LED HID Projector headlights, the paint is quite faded and there are countless scratches and nicks all over the body. Not to mention a quarter of my rear back bumper was re-done by the previous owner with this cheap bondo crap (it looks like crap).

However, I also want more power, and have already sourced out a 3.2L engine from a 986S that will be re-sleeved into a 3.6. I drive pretty aggressively and believe that performance is the key to any car.

Both will happen eventually, and both cost about the same. It's just a matter of which one I want first. Show, or go.

I lean more towards go, but I have many with strong arguments for looks as well.
Thoughts?
