when are we show ready?
hey guys,
ok, so heres a question, at what point of modification does your car become show worthy? im curious because while i take my car to the normal shows in fields and stuff, there are 2 more exclusive indoor shows coming up and my car club is thinking about setting up a booth. would i be concieded to think my car should be entered with the few mods i have? also, i intend to have my new steeda hood by the time of the show, as well as all the engine bay dressups from midwestauto, and my radiator shroud painted to match.

Just so you know, the hood really isn't going to matter if you lift it up. You have the option of leaving your hood down to sport custom paint, a hood, or both. Also you can leave it up of course if you want to sport some dress-up items.
Either way, if you want to attend just do it for fun. There is no harm in that, but I think the time to enter a show is when you think your car looks good (which could even mean stock!).

Cleanliness is just about as important as modifications. Be sure your car is as clean as the day it came off the dealers lot and that alone will impress people

RE: when are we show ready?
it all depends on what class you want to be in. You can show in the totally stock class, which is boring to me for brand new cars, but they are doing it. Then there are the Personalized, Modified and Specialized classes. Which class you'll fall into after your initial mods depends on how many points you accumulate.
This is a link to the classes and the point criteria that they used at the Giant Queen Mary Mustang Show:

So if you've added anything you're pretty much out of the Stock class. See the list at the bottom to see how easy it is to no longer be considered stock.
Your goal then should be to accumulate as many points in either of the customized classes. As you can see the biggest point mods are new body kits, rims & tires, supercharger or NOS. Just those 3 can get you 70 points and into the Specialized class. If you're serious about doing lots of mods you might want to start off with lots of smaller mods, keeping you in the Personalized class.
But it usually depends on who else is showing as to what your chances are to get a trophy. Sometimes just one special mod can get a winner!
