There are 3 differnt style lambo doors, there is also a million ways to go with audio. You have a billion differnt colors to paint your car.

You have a choice from cheap rent a wheel, wheels to high end class A wheels such as volks.

You can mod the wheels like the guy has in both 350z wheels.

You can pick from carbon fiber / painting the carbon fiber like Dan with the blue Celica has.

Being diff has nothing to do with a check list. Every car must have audio, nice wheels, and something to draw your eyes to like the Lex above...

They don't tell you to do that but once again its based on points...

Yes thats a GS300 with a 2JZ-GTE swap running stock twins. Very clean car. The points system is stupid, all the cars actually competing end up looking retarded.

Yeah that GS has been around for a LONG time and hasnt changed a bit. Cool guy though.

That whole points system just encourages tackiness. There is absolutely NOTHING appealing nor tasteful about the cars that meet all the criteria.

Read the rule book.

And cars also gets reclassified when they're getting judged as the judges see more/less parts (from where the car is originally classified) along the way.

Well me and my buddies from ITCC were put in the mild class and we definitely deserve it. Yet right behind us was an SUV with fiberglass everything, and a freaking water tubes with bubbles in it. I mean even the cars with the turbos and chrome and stuff were put into the mild class.

I actually thought when I saw them put us down as mild we had a chance, but it seemed like EVERYONE was in mild except a couple of people.

I would love to see the rule book .

I don't get the car show thing.

Put all that cash into a car so you can park it in parking lots and convention centers to have people tell you whether or not it looks good. Most people with nice show cars are even paranoid to drive them on the street so they don't wreck them before their next "show". What's the point?

Not hating, just saying I don't get it.

I know what you mean. I cant tell you how many cars I saw at HIN that people flat bedded them in, and some even went as far as too push the car in and not start it. I enjoy driving my car around, I mean it has 70k miles on it now. My theory is if I cant drive the car, I cant enjoy the car. BTW when I told the judge how many miles were on my car he had me repeat myself, LOL.

P.S.- I am seeing cars in the pictures here that I didnt actually see in the forum, awesome, keep it up
