Default May I see your car show trophies?

I have been showing my car for about a year now have have picked up a few nice trophies. I have won a trophy at nearly every show I have entered. I am 0-2 at Hot Import Nights but that is totally expected and ok with me I really entered just because I wanted to be there. Anyway I have been thinking of what I am going to do with these trophies so I decided to get some ideas from you guys and see what you have done with yours. I know some of you guys like Adrian (Bluelex), TLW and some of you other more high profile members must have a entire room dedicated to all your car show trophies and I would love to see them. So come on CL let's see those car show trophies!? Here are mine......

I had the stand made for me at a shop that makes signs and stuff like that. It is made of plexiglass and it cost me $350.

Whats up man. Congrats on the awards very well deserved. I haven't decided what I want to do with my garage yet or if I'm going to just turn it into a game room and build a detatch for my cars but in the meantime I just boght some inexpensive shelves at Lowes for like 30 bucks, 2 packs gave me 3 small 2 teir shelves to spread the hardware across. Its something for the time being but its clean. Actually the trophies a little crooked but for 60 bucks its works well for now.







I've actually only been doing this for about 3 years. I took almost a full year off while getting the interior,brakes,front and Motor done than got back into the scene in mid 05. I actually have a few that I haven't picked up at shows cuz I left like Nopi ATL and even had a few break over the years so I threw them away but its nice to have them on display. Lets you know that people appreciated the hard work you put into your car's style and design .

Here is the link. It took about 3-4 weeks to arrive but it was worth the wait.

Congrats on all the recognition for your ride, truly inspiring.

Can you tell me about the lights and where CL I can find out more about the Q45 conversion you did?

How difficult for a clumsy newb, (I'm a terror in the office just suck with a wrench in my hand)

and what the cost was?
