hi guys its me... thanks for the love and support. Ive spent countless hours just to make car one of the better and unique 350Z to represent the whole my350Z.com community.
Unfortunately in that show I DIDNT take 1st nor did I take 2nd. I took home 3rd. The reason for which still boggles me. Maybe the judges doesnt know what is HRE, Bride, Veilside nor how painful it was to do a lambo conversion on a car less that a year old.
If you all thought I was the show winner what do you think I felt when they called out my name for third.
Its just more reasons for me to go back to the drawing boards and come up with more crazy stuff. Just wait and see what we have waiting for all of you
For everyone that wants to see how the door and the car progressed to what it is now CLICK HERE for pics. Please post your questions and comments there.
Regarding the models here what I have to share. Courtney is HOT! wheres the hands? hahaha

All i know was at the end of the day...there was some arguments that went on near the trophy collection area. Some guy wanted to see his score card because another car (in the same class) won third for having a stock ride with just rims. He was angry because he put all this work into his car and did not pass up the "all stock" guy for his trophy.
Being at the show for the whole day, I was nitpickin every car but your ride was a show stopper and one of the things that stuck out in my mind.
All third place means is fuel to drive for perfection.... because you guys look capable of slapping some sense into the most tasteless doubters that call themselves judges.
Good luck ...and remember...it aint about the judges...it's about the crowd because we all know what car is hot.
Until the next

I was there too and will have the pics up on my site tonight most likely:
http://www.garageracing.com
I will say I think the whole show scene is a farce. I know a number of judges. I also know a number of shows where this **** is rather commen place.
One of the other two cars that stood out besides BigBadBlackTracks was:
The S2k with a camera in the rear keyhole and a monitor where the rear-view mirror was supposed to be showing what was on the camera.
The porsche in the pic previously posted. That car was just sick plain and simple.
BBBT - When did you join showcase? I know Mike told me a 350Z joined recently but that was all... I do like ya ride...
I thought the 350Z with the CF Spoiler had a CF kit (front/rear bumper cover, side skirts, spoiler). I will know when I check out my pics tonight. If it does I'll post a pic of the ride.
As to the models, most of the good looking (non wanna be porno queens) have been modelling for import all-stars. Including the one above and my personal favorite, Ann Phan.

It was just a cold-*** tiring day for me. I was there supporting my "europrojekt" friends. The Z's just kept me there a little longer.

I wonder if that 3 rotor rx7 took 1st place. You have to admit, the supra, the rx7, and *maybe* the skyline were better than the Black Z.
The 7 probably cost upwards of 60 grand to make and it looked damn good. Supra was clean as hell too. There's just not enough support for the Z yet.

In the 350z class....the black Z stood out..and it is commended for taking such a dramatic modification for a car that is still in its infantile stage.
That rx7 was a motherfuggin BEAST!!! It wasn't just the engine that made my jaw drop...it was the body that was built around it. EVERYTHING was swapped out and reinforced....making it look like a demonic rocket from hell!

yeah there was so many good cars out there and i knew that i had no chance against them. after all the car just has minor engine mods and the system was still being worked on.
we were realistic and we werent gunning for the best car out there. rather we aimmed for the best Z at least. in a carshow there will always be a better car than yours. the realistic thing to do is be the best car in your built. losing to a skyline, a supra or an RX7 is aight or even an Evo ot STi for that matter. But I cant loose to a Z in such a small show... just thats me.
oh and 35oZephyR man thanks for the support people like you make all the effort put in the car actually worth it.

i have no idea how you got 3rd.. "Craze Z" and I both thought u were going to take 1st and the CF one would take 2nd n probably the Serianty Sound car take 3rd.. but shhesh that was dumb.. guess they knew the judge better than u lol..
the judge judging my car is a friend of mine (Toyota class) and even i knew i wasn't gonna place compared to the other cars, but dang that was just too obvious there
better luck for pomona if you go to that.. maybe point out that they're real bride seats and hre rims and its not like u can do better than that
