Easy killer, I snapped that after I won the trophies they don't stay under my hood, I do keep those pictures up when I show it because they are my dyno sheets, my car looks stock without them.
And my cars definitely not the hottest car, it's hard to compete with cars that are bright red w/stripes when people don't know what they are looking at, but I still have a blast doing it. Appreciate jumping down my throat before asking questions

My thoughts exactly, I don't think dyno numbers are above or beyond by any means, i'm working on some brackets to hold those frames from the hood while it's up to cut down on the clutter, but still it's my ride, why knock how I show it?

I learned my lesson though searching for a good powder coater, originally had my shelby hood pins dropped off at a industrial powdercoating company who charged me $125 for 2 god dam hood pins, I liater found out they just charge min of 125, wich is gay and they shouldof told me before I left them there. I go to my guy now and get my tips done my lower grille I have to fab and it only cost me $30........ya I got burned bad with the hood pins.

Appreciate it man think it adds a pretty classy touch
Wow that really blows, the guy that does it here said he'd do it for under a 100, for the valve covers you can't really beat that, it's going to be the same color as our booth's tables like this
Think it's gunna look awesome with my alloy, gotta rep my Eagle lol
how much are you paying to have them done? The guy who does my stuff does alot of **** for a shop called ulitmate audio wich does alot of the orlando magics cars and big ballers out here who just drop off there **** and say make it look bad ***,lol

Not sure why you got all bent by a simple comment. If you don't like to hear negatives, then you shouldn't post pics of your car. Which I didn't knock at the least. I envy your internal mods and I would take a stock appearance any day for internal mods.
I don't believe I was wrong to assume something on a forum. I was merely stating my opinion on how some people show their car. If that was only to show everything in one, then I stand corrected.
But it still doesn't change my second comment. And that's why do people show there car with won trophies?
Again, plaques and signs belong on the ground. I always hate to see a cluttered car. You said you were going to get mounts to mount on the hood. What about just getting a stand and putting them next to the sign. I would hate to see your ride at a show and think bad of it and not give it the respect it deserves.
Tombstang, sorry bro. My ***** is long enough. I don't need to start a second grade argument with you about "would've been situations."
