L3P47 - go easy on the coloured hoses and wire covers under the hood. I won 1, 2 & 3 places at Carlisle PA many time with my 05 Corolla over the years- it certainly was show not go. I stuck with more subtle mods ( painted headlights, rarer stuff like Thailand led tails, power folding mirrors and k-sport co's) and judges liked it
My FR-S will be along the same lines and I hope it is appreciated this year and wins something at Carlisle in May
I like the road trip, the scene and the whole car show experience - winning a small trophy is just an added bonus
Good luck and have fun at the shows!
