lol nice post...

i will add this always read the judging sheet at the event or before the event and 3 things all can improve on

1) cleanliness, don't be surprised to see a judge wipe a finger around undercarriage... (ask Brett for pointers, he has the cleanest non trailored car i've have ever seen)

2) unique, do small touches others don't have, and don't added them all at once, spread out your mods, b/c judges who judge your car will notice alot of times the minor changes changes (this time i noticed yamil from aap added a chrome front spliter to the front bumper since the last event) creativity is the key to beating out the competition

3) displays, not enough people capitalize on this... its free points! take off a wheel show off those upgraded brakes, have pics available, poster of car build, 3 wheel doggy style your air ride, etc...

thats it...

i will say it would suck to have a show car now a days... competition is really tight almost 3/4 of the cars may be conservative/mild which sucks b/c of the numbers of competition and wild holy shit... you better have 20+g to play w/ the big boys and thats just locals... on the national level you better pull out the whole deck of cards
