the reason I asked is because you have seats, wheels, kit, and supercharger. that's about it, and for a carshow it's all about the details and as albert mentioned touching every aspect of the car.
i am not trying to be arrogant, but i just don't know if you know what it takes to win at a hot import nights style event. local shows are worthless.

Car Shows

I got points taken off at a show because all i had done performance wise was a cold air intake and a cat-back(so the SC you have does help out). Craig Mack, get some more audio and some custom "visual" mods and youll be str8...
PS..i have some things in the works...soo we'll see...

I think if you want to win or place you have to expect the other guys to have what you have but you gotta get something they WONT have to place!!

It was always having more of a complete package that put me over the hump. I've only entered four shows but I won all four for either best Nissan or best Four-Door Mild. Some had ill paint jobs & rims but nothing else.... some had a system & rims but nothing else.... But if you have a system, rims a clean looking car and some kind of boost, you should place somewhere! I'm hoping to stretch down south a little farther for some show because the NY show set is kinda soft i admit... I have yet to update my sig and hompage w/new pics too. These are over a year old! Alot has happened since then...

Thanks for all the compliments and meeting people at the show.
Did you expect to win something craig?

just as fyi, the tenchi cars are all apart of jade and listed under jade when they show.
and malik you are right, there are hardly any if any at all complete maxima's. blake's was one, before it was stripped and now redone.

Some people like yourself are there for the sport, and it can get pretty out of hand if the person doesnt win because they think they should have. I am basically saying this, its all a game of hit or miss, you win some and you lose some.

I have two tone leather, a PioPremier headunit, and my triple gauge deal for my interior. That's it. And that's how I like it, for the most part. Exterior....rims, drop, tint, kit, grille, shaved rear, clear reds, clears, ect. Performance...SC@10psi, full exhaust, clutch, STS, FSTB, ect...engine...I painted the SC piping, valve cover, hoses, and little ***** blue myself. Cost me probubly $12 total.
I don't have any fancy lightning, or a system, or brake upgrades. I didn't do my brakes becuase I heard upgrading to a big brake kit without anti-lock brakes could cause them to lock up alot...which would be really bad. I don't have 1 sticker on my car either. I guess the show scene demands these kinds of things...but IMHO sometimes less is more. I like it clean cut. I can't wait for projector headlights to come out though.
I expected Jason to win, and i'm glad he did. Someone needs to represent Maxima's there. And his isn't ricey like 95.9% of the cars there. It would have been nice if I had won something. but I don't know if I wanna do what's necissary to do so. I'm just glad I got a taste of what it's like.
