Not sure if this has been covered before but I'm asking anyone whose ever entered a car show to maybe throw out some info on things/mods that judges value more over others.

I know theres certain points awarded depending on the mod, but I was just wondering if anyone knows what mods recieve the most points. Or even what you need to do to become a judge.

I'm really starting to gain interest in the show scene but I've never entered and wouldnt know the first thing to do. But I'd like to stand a fighting chance and not embarass myself by not being well prepared.

 

or if anyone could name a website or two dealing with the topic. I wasnt able to find anything on my search for "auto show tips".

 

good thread.

 

Make sure it's clean!!!!! Every little nook and cranny, even the engine belts, etc. As far as what mods to add I'm not sure, I would make sure that they compliment the car and they shine

 

On your way too the show watch who you're riding with. Watch their shoes, watch their clothes... make sure what THEY wear is extra clean so it doesn't dirty your interior. same thing for YOUR shoes

 

EXTEA KLEEN!!!!!! Just have everything blingin outta control, even under it where you can see from kneeling down. And it needs to NOT smell like a foot. (buddies personal experience)

 

so im hearing that the car needs to be super clean....any suggestions on waxes to get the best shine.

Anyone have any insight on mod value?

 

well from what ive heard....
anything that is:
-fabricated
-molded
-rare things such as tweeter/speaker positions, or gauge locations...etc

 

It's a buffer related topic, but has plenty of good info:

.. anything thats not practical gets u points.. being different. i've seen a 350z with with three 7" inch monitors in the engine bay... a full CF M3... a ton of cars with air suspension. detailed interior, fiberglass interior. ... i went to a car show and was talking to a guy with lambo doors on his 350z.. the judge came up to his car and basically had a check list and looked at all the mods up close and asked if anything was in the trunk. i think u should get sponsored if u expect to win a car show.

 

there is a car show in my town this weekend and a girl from best buy wants me to enter under the daily driver bracket. i am considering it. this week alone i have put an indash dvd player in, tomorrow i am installing the gamecube into the rear armrest (custom cutout) and running the two 12"s and my 2k watt amp. this thread came in perfect timing

 

best of luck with that. if you enter ask lots of questions so you'll have more info to share with the rest of us.

 

Great thread.. keep this one going please. I want to put my car in Hot Import Nights Cleveland this year. I want to get a powered display so I can have my stereo, gps, neons, and all that stuff working. I was thinking about getting headlight and taillight strobes just to attract a little attention. Also, my car is always super clean. That helps.

 

excellent thread!! I too am planning on entering shows so keep those tips coming.

 

basically dont go in there stock! alot of shows u really have 2 make an impression! but they also have differnt classes! they have a mild class and a wild class! but start out goin 2 baby shows and pick up a couple trophies!
