It's contest time!!

In a nutshell, I am planning to enter this contest:

http://www.autopia.org/forums/showth...threadid=45298

The prize for this is a $100 shopping spree for detailing supplies. They are planning to break this into categories and I am planning to do exterior.

I'll be doing this with another org member (hectorc). I'll be posting pics soon.

I'm surprised you didn't resize them. The piggie looks prime for detailing
