Entered a car show today. (pictures inside)

Well, I decided to get in on a local car show today at the local AMVets chapter, and it was definitely a good time. I got 2nd place in Import Sport Compact, so I got a trophy! Woot!

It was funny, cause there was only me and a sweet mini cooper, so we both knew we'd get a trophy, he just edged me out for 1st place! lol

Anyway, here's a few pictures at the show, and some from afterwards.




















Anyway, enjoy! I had a goodtime, and I think I'll be going to some more shows, it was a lot of fun!

Man, add a talking car-computer, and sweeping light to the waterfall grille, and you'd have a kickin' alternative to KITT.

That car is looking very good, and VERY black. How do you find it at night?

So, you'll just keep giving me money to no end? lol And I can polish one for you if you want, lol. I have a spare here, just let me know if you're interested!

And I own a detailing business so I try to keep the car clean, and I like to think I do a decent job. I am proud to use Britemax polish on it, but we also have a sweeeeet buffer called the Cyclo that does a magnificent job. Then I also put a coat of Megiuars Gold Class liquid wax on too, for god measure. The last time I waxed it was in April though, this morning I just washed it and instant detailed it with Britemax Final Shine spray, that stuff is amazing!

And thanks to everyone for the kind words. It's nice to know that others think something looks nice that I spent a lot of time on!


BoxerFanatic, I put this glow in the dark dye in it, and when I hit my alarm it sprays it in the air, thats how. lol

What do you charge? My manifold is already off my motor so I can send a core. I tried using Purple Power on it and it doesn't look any cleaner than before.

Your car looks really well, Nevin. Top job man.

I like the RX wheels, but I'm not a fan of black wheels in general. I'd have had them silver.

Well, I actually polished mine with a lot of spare time, sandpaper and elbow grease. I charge $225 shipped + core for a polished IM like mine. So, you give me $225, and ship me yours, I ship you a polished one, bada bing, bada boom. Done. lol

PM me if you're interested.

And thanks Joe! Not many other wheels would I like in black on this car, but these seem to pull it off for me. I'm looking to upgrade to the TSW snetterton (in silver) though, sometime soon-ish.

I am also not a fan of black wheels, but you seemed to have pulled off a miracle here.

Hahah, thanks.

That last picture is my favorite, the one from the RR 1/4 panel. Dead sexy.

Finally got rewarded for all that hard work.
I recall your write up from 4-5mo ago.
The car looks awesome, but I'm a big fan of black.

100% agreed.

I have saved your picture to my folder. That's got to be the sweetest black SVX around.

[My Black Betty is nice OK, but not detailed to this level. ]
