Here's mine without all the trophies. People don't want to see the trophies but the car that won them.

Re: Any Show Quality 3rd Gens?Post Pics With Trophies

I haven't shown my car much in the past few years but I have gone to the T/A Nats and got 1st place in 2009, Custom, and 2nd place this year, Custom. My car also has been made in 1:64 scale by Greenlight Collectables. The picture on the package is my car and the license plate on the car is one of my old plates "Evil TA".

What all do you have done to the car cause it looks pretty stock in that pic to be showing in the custom class?! However, I know they are pretty crazy with the counting stupid stuff to bump people up in classes though. (non-stock valve stem caps, non-stock gas caps, etc...) Add a handful of simple little things and suddenly your showing custom with the slammed, shaved, $10,000 paint job boys!

Custom is 11-16 mods. I have...

Headers
Exhaust
Intake manifold
Painted rocker covers
Chrome air cleaner
Chrome thermostat housing
Polished alt.
Chrome alt. bracket
Plug wires (MSD, I'd say if they were black they wouldn't have counted them)
Polished A/C lines
Switch in the interior
Stainless steel cap head bolts
Mallory Distributor
Chrome Mallory coil

The last three they usually miss. At the show this year they only counted 10 at first and I had to review the list to see what he missed which happened to be the intake. I'm where I want to be and I'm there for the cars not really a trophy. That's just an added bonus

I love that hood, been looking at getting one for a while!
It really makes the white work - I tend to hate artic white
