I don't go to contests with hopes of winning as judges don't know anything about the category I build, Imports. From what I can tell, the shiny paint jobs catch more attention. After seeing the ones that won in the category I was in, I feel that if they had more knowledge on the subject, I would've atleast placed 3rd with this one.
Even some of the guys that placed in other catagories had asked if I won anything? When I said no, they were surprised. So dunno...
Would I change anything?? Nope, it's the look and style I wanted. I'm happy with it.
