I'm interested to see what that bumper looks like when it's put on, for some reason it looks big as hell. I remember seeing this a while back, I think on Galant Speed
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>How to build a winning show car! *
Back in the mid and early 90s, when the import industry was just emerging, a car with an exhaust and three spoke rims was considered “fixed up”. Today the show scene has evolved…incredibly. It has become highly competitive with much more at stake then before. Now instead of showing off your car just for personal enjoyment, teams are battling it out for media coverage, cash payouts, and most of all sponsorships. So lets go over the basics of what it takes to win: *
(Keep in mind you can only score a max of 1000 points per category) *
Engine bay: *
The most overlooked area of the show car. Today’s top winning show cars can compete in the show circuit and on the track. Not only that but the engines themselves can gain a huge amount of points. *
