Sup All,

On September 19, Im entering my car into a show and shine contest in my City and Im wondering on what kinda things I can do to my car to make it more "show" material, but not toooooo $$$$$$$$

I was planning on:

- buying the RRM Red Valve Cover
- making all the hoses Red
- If i can borrow someones dvd deck for the show and do that (thats gonna be hard though. well see though)
- putting on my sparco pedals
- putting on my sparco handbrake

heres some semi-current pics of my car:











THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP GUYS, I HOPE I WIN

Wow when i read it without seeing pics i expected a stock car with maybe rims but you have one hot car. My opinion depending on amount of time you have. Do said things and definateley get rid of the L.A.N.C.E.R. on the back and the oz rally. just use a hair dryer and pop those bad boys off. It may seem dumb but it makes a worl of difference. and yeah black out them bad boys in the front. TG hit it right on the nose. Maybe some cheap l.e.d. lights from autozone to go over the cd player just for the show effect ya know. dont drive down the street with that crap on or youll better off driving a honda.
