Section F: Quality

Building a show car is all about quality. There is no point of having wild modifications or having well known aftermarket parts if it was poorly installed. Parts that you pay is inclusive with the cost of your ride therefore treat these parts as they came original with the ride in the first place.

Section G: Rims

It is a rule of thumb that rims can make or break a ride. Take for example, your stock rims are 18 inch, going for 21 inch may be innovative and has a "wow" factor, however this may compromise your ride quality and the overall look of a ride aka tractor looking ride. Therefore consult with your friends who have done rims upgrade or look through the internet and what type of look you want to go through.

Section H: Display

Displaying your ride is another important factor to draw crowds to your ride. For instance, having good ligthing to flaunt your build quality install and parts or putting mirros to show what your ride's undercarriage has there. Banners or past trophies may come in handy to attract spectators.

Section I: Cohesion

Lastly, your show theme must have certain ties together with the type of ride you have. Consistency and cohesion are very important for any judges, so make sure your ride works well as a total package. While mix and matching different styles will look good in your preference, it may go down the drain if it is not executed properly.


Thats all for now, these tips may or may not be helpful but one thing that must be there while your in a car show, have fun... Try to minggle with the spectators or even the competitors and you'll enjoy the show much more by meeting new faces and making new friends...
