MY Fav. Cars:- SLD 98 Honda Accord EX with rims, teins and exhaust.
Seriously...i couldve brought my gramma's Buick Century Custom and won an award becuase it ssays "Custom" on it!!!!
Your Z looked hott!
I knew someone would try to talk crap about my car being in the show. :rolleyes: I woulda won if there was a "Best Half Detailed 4 Door Grandpa Car" in the show 
Kevin and his guys really did a great job on the half of my car they did, though. It was a total night and day difference!!! The paint actually looked alive for the first time in years! Thanks SLD
Congrats to everyone who took home an award! There were some great cars there and it was really nice to see some local people get honored for all the hard work and insane amounts of cash they put into their cars. I think some of the cars that didn't take any trophies home should still be proud of their rides. Bring 'em back next year with a vengeance!
Thanks to Tintmasters and all involved for putting on a great show!!!

I thought the show was great, a different pace then alot of the car shows around the area and it was well put togeater for being the first indoor tintmasters show. The show did get a little long, but i am sure it will be better every year when they get everything worked out. once again great job on the show Shane and everyone from Tintmasters

I helped judge this show and while my personal tastes where for Scotts Mitsu, he just didn't score enough points (on my sheet or any of the other judges). Having the engine bay a diff color cost the 3000 a few points, but he made up for them elsewhere. Not much else I can say.hey chuck, i thought judges had judging sheet they go by and had nothing to do with "personal tastes"? woudlnt that be kinda favoring cars that you feel is tastefully modded?
congrats to all the winners. to tony espeacially!

I think you are confused...Chuck stated that while his personal tastes were in favor of the Eclipse, he gave the 3000gt more points, therefore overriding his personal taste. -

You are correct, judging did have score sheets, I should have been more clear. The only section that I could have any sort of personal opinion added was the "Overall Appearance" category. Everything else was based on cleanliness/display/ICE/Performance Mods/Exterior Mods/Interior Mods/Custom Paint or Graphics/Clean Paint/and one more category I can't think of off the top of my head.
Advice to anyone who is going to have their car judged by me: I check 2 wheel wells and under the sideskirts for dirt. If I find dirt in any of those areas I deduct points from the cleanliness section. Seriously, 95% of the cars had CHUNKS of dirt up in their wheel wells.

I'd try my best to completely forget what everyone elses car looked like in a given category and just go by how I'd rate looks on a scale of 1 to 10. I never did an A/B comparison when figuring in points. Always went SOLELY on how the vehicle in front of me scored on the criteria I had to judge. In other words, I judged the cars then forgot everything about them.

If Chuck would have had his way, mark would not have won best of show so i know that he did not go on his own taste but with points only. I do have one question though Chuck, yes i thought your wrx deserved the 1st place subaru, but iwht 3 of you judging, and then tallying your score and going with the average or whatever, how could you fairly judge your own car to get to that average, just a thought. not bashing you or your car, just curious how it all worked.

i got one question. where did that 3000gt gather enough points to beat me? I'm over losing to him because i crushed him at scn but i'm still curious. i realize i dont have a system right now,but neither does he. his car came turbod mine didnt. i have a nice paint job with a full very nice body kit, he had a cool paint job but yeah... he had nice wheels and so do i. i have an awesome set of coilovers and a big brake kit, and i have no clue what he has. i have katzkin and dyed interior he had sparcos. i'm not talking smack about this guy cuz his car is cool yes but i'm just confused on me not getting enough points in order to beat him where i have just as much stuff if not more and all of mine is done very nicely and he has a couple of errors in the car. again im not saying my car is the best i just want to know how and where he beat me.

The whole car show crowd reminds me of elementary school when kids didn't get picked for the football team, baseball team, etc... Get over it, there will always be someone better, there will always be someone w/a nicer car, etc.. Losing should make you bring your car up to a higher quality in the future.
If someone wants they can have my trophy if it makes them feel any better.

I liked the carbon fiber evo for best Mitsu.....I didnt see the 3000gt......so I dont konw if I woulda liked it or not

i absolutely got my ass handed to me in the nissan class but shit it is just motivation for next year...im gonna try to come back big next year...no more messing around
hahascott, you do have a really nice car and i didnt really look at the 3kgt because it didnt really do anything for me cause the motor was pretty much stock but just think if you dont have a stereo thats a few points you are easily missing out on...who knows you coulda lost by 1 point...you just dont know...and it could have come down to the stereo or something like that...

I know guys that put on the Autovations show and the Sport Compact Nights show and they've all asked me whats up w/ the Fargo guys complaining when they dont win? So its obviously becoming a repeated issue and maybe their just not up to the level the judges think they need to be to win, i really dont know as im not a judge.

a little off subject but here's a few more pics of us models... some might be the same as alissa's but yea i thought i'd post em...

I was not saying that chuck cheated to win or anything like that, i just think and i belive that a lot of people will be on my side that judges should not judge their own cars in a show because i know of a lot of people thinking bad stuff when judges cars win. Not everyone knows how people judge their own car.
