Keep it clean as possible, bigger wheels the better. A nice paint job, and a CLEAN--- NOT ricey kit. You are compete'n with some dog-e-dog people, and competition gets rough, esp. among friends. Keep your head on straight- listen to opinions, BUT go with YOUR BEST INSTINCT. (Do your own shit, dont let someone do it for you.) Also, know what is on your car. If you go to a show- a judge asks you a question about your car- ON QUE, you gotta know whats up...whats on the car, what it does (not usually) etc.etc.

    Ive learned the hard way, and you will go through some ups and downs. Once you start to mod your car, its all down hill from there- just be careful and spend your money wisely.
    Although this is some half way good advice, you have to build the car for yourself and to what you like. You need to ask yourself if you want to have a full blown show car or so you just want to have a clean ass ride to drive everyday. There are also different levels to show at. Fawk only thinks of the big dog levels but in reality look at Brett's car. He is not a crazy full blown show car but a modest civic with little touches here and there and the biggest thing, it's clean. Not in the sense of how it flows but that he spends hours cleaning the car. You want to win at a show, make sure your car is clean.

    Also once you start modding your car, it is not a downhill thing once you start. It becomes an up hill battle because you are always wanting to add somethig or improve something and you tend to find the money is not always there. It takes a lot of sacrafice and dedication to build a show winning car.

    LMAO, you think my car is a trailer queen dont you? My car is a daily driver-(when I have it)-- otherwise I wouldnt have hit a damn deer. HA. That was pure entertainment. And however you may lie to this girl, its true. You add a kit, something gets cracked. You add rims, you might curb em. Lower the car, start to scrubb shit learning how to re-drive and angle properly hence cracking and shit. Hence the improve'n somethin-- fixing and repaire'n shit.

    Your advice is right, but you need to be sure to include EVERYTHING.

    I do not think your car is a trailer queen, You were giving advice talking about dog eat dog world, meaning full blown show cars (trailer). Not to mention that was the condensed short version since I have been doing this since you were in Diapers and none of what I said is a lie.
