you probably just got there too early. that happen last year to me. but its great to get your feet wet in the show scene if you really are looking to get into. its a great start so you can see how it is..congrats man on showing man, keep modding and you get rewarded. just don't get hooked it can get ugly if you do..good luck man.

They are not even worthy of posting. I have added an SRT Intake and had a few parts painted to match the car but thats it so far.

Actually I was supposed to have a spot reserved and all of that good stuff so I wasn't pressed to get there early I just wanted to make it before the deadline. So imagine my surprise when I got there and they said both buildings were already full. I had to come back the next day and they let 16 of us in.

As far as mods and showing goes I have a good grip on it thus far and I am planning on getting married next year and buying a new house and all of that stuff so I know my boundaries. I have also promised my girlfriend not to let it be a problem. I pay for everything in cash and don't even own a credit card so if I can't afford it I don't get it. Check out a few of the the pics below which show how much money goes into some of these cars. No way I can compete and i'm not even gonna try. I am happy with what I have and while I will continue to mod I am not going to kill my wallet doing it.

Optimus Prime in the trunk is pretty sweet (for show purposes that is )...the only thing is that he should be red and blue.

A lot of those trunk setups are way over the top. Are they made by the manufacturers of the products to showcase their products or are they done by the car owners? I think some look good but most are hideous. The transformer looks cool but is it to promote the new Transformers movie

wow, when you see cars like they are competing for the elite show car classes, so don't think you have to do anything like to win or do well at these shows. thats why they have classes like mild, wild, and elite...
