I just entered for the hell of it and to boost the show numbers. It seems like there's less and less people entering and the shows are disappearing around here.
I didn't win anything, and didn't expect to without exterior mods. Sorry, no rice on my car FTL! I suppose a nice EVO hood could have helped. *cough* Chris *cough*

Oh yea, and I bet you could guess what I lost to. A fake Veilside Tib with some audio and mild n/a mods.


Anyways, I don't post pics of my car too much, so here's a few from yesterdays show.

Oops, how did that one get in there?

Why is stuff on the outside of your car rice? lol. If everythnig is balanced youd not only win shows, youd have a fast car aswell. a bodykit is a maybe. a hood and drop look really hot and not ricey imo. But its nice to see people entering shows on here.

I didn't really try hard. Just vacuumed a little and waxed for the first time. lol


Body kits = weight, and most of the time clearance issues. This was my first show. My money 95% of the time goes into the engine bay, not the rest of the car.


As for dropping the car. I'm most likely gonna look into a custom set of Eibachs.

i will agree with the bodykit thing. any bodykit with boost is unnecessary. i must say though, the CF/FG hood is a must. I instantly noticed a weight difference. The car felt a lot lighter on my N/A. They don't make nice bodykits for Tiburons, at least nothing that looks like it would be factory, nothing that fits the curves.

I do think you should have won. I think it depends on a lot of things, like a theme. If you have a theme you'll win. Car shows don't like nice fast and clean, they like crazy, wild, and 22's.

Just my 2 cents... I think removing the mudflaps would help the look of the car and it's also free, so you can still put your $$$ towards the engine cool.gif

On the other hand car looks great... I can always appreciate a sleeper smile.gif
