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 |

Here i am coming off all elitest and what not.. but....
Your car is not a means of an income... you shoudln't be building it to win trophies, The love affair with your car will cease as soon as you try to make it business. yes the car is your pallet and you ofcourse are Picasso... but remember most famous poets died very poor, or in poverty.. take it to shows to show off, if you make money consider yourself lucky. Unless of course your racing... Racing, you do not do to win money - its a perk... you race to feel the rush, to have a connection with road through your ride... you pour money and time into your car to go faster... the car is the means to the end.... as you can see i have a bias towards racing and i have no love or respect for the carpet queen. but ignore the last part of this post and pay close attention to the first paragraph.... -------------------- -Mike
