    I recieved my second 1st place trophy today at a local car show. :xyxthumbs



    It was a last minute decision so I didn`t really had a chance to prep my car. To make matters worse it wasn`t a People`s Choice Award, this was the first time I my car was actually judged by five judges. I freaked out a little when I found out about this :p

    Wouldn`t you know it the only time that I didn`t prep my car it was being judged



    Oh well I guess I had nothing to worry about. :xyxthumbs



    Last weekend I applied a coat of 1Z followed by a coat of NXT. Today I had one hour to wash and dry her and get to the show. At the show I didn`t get a chance to QD her. I basically just detailed the engine, interior and yes the nose mask with NXT Tech Spray. Here are some pics.

    Thanks. I guess that`s because I basically keep her in this condition 99% of the time. I would have really wanted to apply another coat of NXT to give the paint more luster.



    People asked me if I actually drove her. They were really surprised when I told them that it was my daily driver. I guess it pays to be an Autopian. :p

    Man that looks good! My car looks the same if not better I gotta get in on some of these contests. Although, you wouldnt want to look under the hood. =(

    I get so scared when even looking under there that anything will get damaged from a product.

    Thanks everyone

    Hopefully I can snag another one next month.

    One thing that I would like to accomplish is to actually have a clean under carriage. I would love to use a mirror to show case the under carriage. One of these days I will actually do this.



    DetailGirl it`s an injustice to have a detailed exterior but a dirty engine bay. :p If you want to start entering shows you`re gonna have to start cleaning under the hood.



    GSRstilez aside from the Pop Charger and ground wires I haven`t really done a whole lot but thank you. I also repalced my stock antenna and applied an overlay on the B-Pillars. Hopefully within the next year or so I`m hoping to add a full body kit and 20 inch rims. :xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs

    congrats. that trophies tall enough to be used as a hood prop! but really, the fact that you weren`t ready and still took 1st goes to show how constantly taking care of your car can pay off!
