dont be so damn cynical darren. body kit, shaved handles, custom paint, crazy audio, and other nice touches. theres no suprise that it can win IMHO. it was at WOW (or maybe HIN, i dont remember) in KC but i couldnt go . i think some of Scinergy IA people saw it if im not mistaken.

looks good IMHO. no reason to hate.

Adam was at HIN KC. I was showing too and it was a really good time. I had just bought my underhood mirror and enjoyed showing it off.

Anyway, Adam's car doesn't photograph well. Plus, you're not seeing any of the fiberglass work inside that he pulled off himself (obviously with a little help from his friends

). The paint looks much better in person. He's a good guy too. Hell, even Brooks liked him and that's saying something.

Every show is different and the judging CERTAINLY varies by region. I noticed in FL at Exposed 2.0 that several people were showing with unpainted body kits. You NEVER see that in the midwest, but I've seen it in Cali before too. So, I guess every different region will have its own criteria and if you're into winning then you'll have to build to suit the judges.

I don't enter much shows due to my obligations but when I do, I get to meet alot of cool peeps and win the raffle prizes. Sometimes I place at shows, but most of the time I have fun talkin to everyone, and making new friends, and meeting up with old friends.
Then again, you may see me here and there.

He is HMIC of Scikotics Houston, He has bags, Looked to be a 32" widescreen, Two 12" Kickers, Headrest monitors, 13" molded into the dash, Screens in the small windows in the rear doors, I think some flip-downs, 18" Chrome ICE wheels.

But his dash was falling apart, it was poorly fiber glass'd, the a/c was not mounted it was practicly sitting in the cupholders. I don't think any of the vents were there. His Engine Bay was terrible all he could do was hose it down with Tire Wet and put A spare bag which was pancaked to hold the hood open, just hoping the judge would bypass the whole engine bay. The whole car just looked old, and Very un-detailed. It needed alot of details taken care of.

My car at the time only had a fresh wash job from the day before. My tail light conversion, a clean engine bay with a few polished pieces, painted interior pieces, one 3" tft JVC in-dash DVD, Springs, A sub hidden under the seat, ebay grill and head lights.

The first thing the judge said to me when he was going over my car was "Looks like your the only one that washed yours, the others just wiped theres off"

At the end of the show when trophys were handed out, After I hung out with Scikotics all day. One of them got best TC and they were all happy and cheery, But when I got best Xb, they were speechless. No congrats, nothing. I think "2toned camoxb" was the only one to give me a head nod. Then after reading on a few other sites, it seems Elegance got robbed. Still, nothing positive towards my win. Except one guy said to another "you and I know there are better than Elegance"

Well, All the bags and screens and trophy's didn't seem to help him against a clean very mild PW xB.

DAMN padanky i didn't know it was like that.........i just found out someone was talking poop here so decided to log in...... its all good........
about us leaving the scene, it was cause it was raining like hell out there and you know that.....we were all talking to you and all plus that wasn't my show...i wasn't even going to show up.. i gave you props for the work you have done to it its pimped out.....i told you that as soon as i saw it....but if that' makes u happy.....congrats on your win;.;/...

cleanness has lots and lots to do....and admit that it was dirty !!!!!!

Yeah, we where all cool until the end. It was just pretty shitty of you all as a group, to not give props on my win. I guess I was expecting more out of you guy's, kinda like at the end of a baseball game. I wasn't wanting a hand shake or anything, A "Good job" would of been fine. There were plenty of trophy's given out after mine. 2toned Camoxb was the only one to acknowledge my win.

You did give me props in the beginning of the show, also talked to me about going to some of the Scikotics little get togethers. Then when It came to me getting the win, the whole Scikotics family just turned there backs to me.

I understand that my winning kept the Scikotics from taking all the Scion trophy's. I guess it was another one of your one of your buddy's, that made that clear to me in one of his posts. Over on Houston-Imports. " Elegance got robbed if he would of won, we would of taken all the wins."

I guess Squirrel was right with this post.

"Sounds very familiar! And believe me, it just gets worse. And then the trash talking, back stabbing, and contradictory posts that will show up.

Friends are only your friends as long as you don't place higher than them.

The moment you get a First or Best of, and they either got Second, Third or didn't place at all, the jealousy monster rears its ugly head and all heck breaks loose. It also has to do on how one was raised/spoiled also."

I was trying to make a point on what it takes to win a show, not talking mess. But I guess if I was on your end I would probly take the post the same way. See you guys around, I will be at the Tejas Show. We cool...?

elegancexb · 03-17-2006, 09:51 PM

Aright cool, I don't have any enemies and I don't want to start now, I'm getting too old.

Chris,

You can hang out w/ me anytime should you make it out to the Republic of California. And should I head out to Houston, I'll let you know.

Who cares about the trophies!?! As long as one person says they like my car, and want to know where I got some of my mods, that's all that matters to me.
