I've been working on my celi for the past few years. I spent my fair share of money on this dream of mine. Yet now I'm wondering how much more do I have to do to put this thing in a show and win something. I got the folding mirrors and the JDM tails, waiting for them now, put the booster spoiler on, did the whole DVD audio thing and soon the reapolstering. Did the neons, dropped the car, put on the kit, and tinted the glass. I'm starting to feel like I might never get it to the point that I want it at.
I just want to know what some of you guys did to your celi's to get them into a show. I'm not asking for a parts brake down but more like when you thought she was worthy and what kind of lengths you went to. Just need some inspiration and maybe some direction. Thanks in advance... J |

Coomer is right your car is pretty darn good. What I THINK helps out a lot is a GOOD paint job. Adding things that will make the car stand out. And an engine swap is a great touch. If you really think about it our cars are almost NEVER seen in car shows. From looking at your sig if that what you have wax it up and you should be good. The judges will look at EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. Things that you won't even imagine. They check your springs, your bolts and screws, hinges, the little things are what get you the points. Check out some car magazines, I think Import Tuner had an issue not toolong ago that tells you what judges look for and how the grade you. I'lll try looking for it when i get home.
WINNING is very hard only cuz of the supra. About 90% of the time they win for BEST TOYOTA. My friends from a car club LOVE my car. The GT4 front end, 404 kit, 3sgte swap, custom interior, DVD player, drop, and rims. THey told me my car would definatly be in the running for a prize. Also what i was told is that you have to go out to shows to really get noticed. Adding things every other show helps. Have NAME BRAND or LOTS of mods are probably the things that would help you.
