Default Cheap Show Tricks

Hey guys there is a car show tomorrow that I am going to and was wondering if you knew of any ways to make your car look good for cheap (painting calipers, engine bay etc). Thanks for the help!

no no no...you have to drift into your designated show parking spot...that'll be a definite panty dropper and party starter!! ...jk, just pretty much detail your car and you'll be good to go. good luck.

You don't necesaarily have to mod the car, I would suggest a thorough clean, inside and out. Judges and spectators can appreciatte a clean car.

Also cleaning the Engine bay would help as well. Go pick up some simple green, and scrub

LOL, that's funny...like what was mentioned, just clean the car thoughroly inside and out, shine up the engine bay, vacuum the carpet and floor mats, and you should be fine...good luck and have fun at the show!

You've decided to enter a show and you're asking about how to "prep" for it 1 day beforehand?

^ I was just going to say that. Unless its a big show, then I think all you gotta do is clean it thoroughly, make sure the wheels wells arent dirty, for some reason judges love to be picky about them, aswell as tires and interior vents. Good luck man..
