I also won the biggest prize in the raffle. a pair of race ramps that are designed for lowered cars. pretty cool for 5 bucks. lol

All the shows I've entered I was either in "Import", "Sport Compact", "Foreign", or "90 and up". It makes it tough to win anything, but luckily we won People's Choice at the only show we entered this summer.

I'm looking for better shows that are somewhat near me. Everything here caters to classics and muscle cars.

Thanks Visionz! I was really hoping for first but since I have been skunked at this show twice before, Im happy to just place.

342four, the wiper is really easy, some may frown upon it tho cuz technically its "out of style"... I could care less, I just like the look. I just took both wipers off then put the driver side wiper on the passenger bolt. I put it higher on the windsheild so when I turn it on it covers my side too. it takes a little playing but it is very simple. I have been pulled over for it once but i didnt get a ticket. He was more interested in seeing my car...

187sks there are no tuner shows in your area? I have been to some classic shows but the chances of a hyundai winning are slim. the tuner shows I go to accomodate classics.... they have a "classic" section lol. the rest is sorted by makes and most makes are on the list. There are only two decent tuner shows in my area. I dont miss them...

I didn't see any tuner shows in my state this last summer. There were some the year before. I'm keeping my eyes open though. I know of 2 in Oregon, I might have to drive to Cali or Vegas though.
