Howdy,

Nellis AFB is hosting a car show on base and I'd like to put the Honda in it. I'm not trying to win anything, I just want to put the car in the show. Obviously I'm going to clean the interior and exterior of the car. But I want something cool for the display. Got any ideas? Nothing too fancy, just something that'll catch a spectators eyes. By the way, it is outside.

Here's how she currently sits:

 

How bout some wheels.

 

rims are crucial

 

Maybe take off the tint or re-tint it? It seems like it's turned kind of purplish, it takes away from your car

Looks like some bubbles too.

Just give it a good cleaning and call it a day. No need for some type of display. Let the car do the talking.

 

fully detail the engine bay and do as much wire tucking in the fenders etc as possible. A very clean engine bay would be a plus in a car show, and something most people overlook. Repaint the valve cover as well so its a fresh coat

My thoughts exactly.

 

wheels

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

How ironic, my dad just retired from the Air Force. He lives in Vegas and worked at Nellis, 26 years.

 

Yes, it's on a Military installation. I'm not really worried about winning an award. I just dont want the car sitting all plain in the parking lot. It wont be like HIN or SEMA.
