You have a long road ahead of you. The only way you can dream of hanging with SRT-4 is with a fully built turbo b-series engine. My advice is to read a lot in the "forced induction" section of the forum. I think Honda even has a subforum for it alone.

As far as body kits, the poly-urethane WW kit is the smoothest IMO. Bondo is easy to work with but tough as hell to make nice and smooth unless you have all the tools of the trade (which I did not).

If you do decide to make your own paint booth remember to wear a mask specifically designed for using actual paint (not primer) or you'll end up dead.
