Default HIN Car Show (April)

Whats going on, i was wondering if any of you guys are going to enter in the HIN Car Show this April. I also wanted to know if anyone has been in a Car Show and can maybe give me some pointers or suggestions seeing as though this will be my first car show. I have a lot of work to do b4 April but if anyone can maybe point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Here are some pictures of what im starting with.

If you plan to use your Z as a show car, you need to dress up the engine bay.
Your looking for something like this (You don't to FI, but it helps) Go to this site for some things pictured below ZeeToyz

Lets not considering "win" here. Lets just say in order to actually keep one person's attention for more than 10 seconds on your car, you'd need more than those rims and 2 TV's. Have you been to any previous HIN OP?

Stop by Car Toyz 2, walk out with the 100ft trophies every show. If you are serious about showing, a good friend told me dare to walk to the edge and be different. If YOU like the wheels then that's all that matters. Like I said if car shows is what you are into then make sure whatever you do is original.

not necessary he is going for the win, more shows you go to the more ideas you'll get for your next mods. HIN will be a great start to helping you figure out how to be ready for OC/NOPI/etc.
