Keep the kouki front and buy factory lip and side skirts, this will make you much happier in the long run.

Ok, then sell the kouki for $5-7k and buy a zenki for $3-5k and use any profit for upgrades.

unless for some twisted reason you would rather a pinto than a gallardo lol... although that analogy is a bit extreme
