My first Carshow entry
Just like the title says... this was the first car show I have ever entered. I wish I could have taken more pictures but I didnt. It was a whole lotta work for me. Luckily, I had my girlfriend volunteer to help me out in detailing the car. We started at 6pm on Saturday, and didnt finish unitl midnight. We literally got every centimeter of the car
I still had to wake up at 4:30, to be at the location at 5am, and give it another coat of wax, polish the engine, detail every window trim of the car, re-polish the wheels, etc... I'm so freakin sore and tired... but it paid off!
I ended up getting 1st place in my class. Not bad, for the first time...hehehe
Here are the pics!
 
These are some pictures of my friend's rides... DMNTD fabrications. It was a good night because we all placed.

The Escalade will soon be on 24's and still sitting on the floor. That thing pops up quick as hell. The air bag set-up and frame work is real clean.

Clean car. Nice VQ35!
I'm not diggin' the grille though, IMO if you had a 97 grille in it, it would look better.

That would have sounded nicer, but the class was labeled as Euro street...hehehe
I would have preferred import scene, or Asian Luxury, etc.

I actually have one lined up for May 6th and one in June. My girlfriend is hooked on the car show thing..lol, but its cool, she's the one thats encouraging me to do it. It was a lot of prep work, but well worth it. First thing she said when I won was "The first of many trophies for our new garage."
I also have a shootout that I will be competing in on May 19th (bracket racing). Just have to get my car tuned before then and i'll be ready to go!
And yep! REppin' for the Nissan fam! especially for Maximas!

that car is looking beautiful, just a couple quick questions.
what size rims and tires are you running.
what are the offsets of the rims.
how low are you dropped.
thanks for your help.

18x7.5's and i'm running on some(bald) 235/40/18's Nitto 555's--
I'm dropped about may 1 1/2 to 2 inches from stock (i think). I was dropped a lot more but I didnt want to jack up the kit so I raised it up a little.

I've only seen one other 4th gen Maxima here in El Paso with a kit and rims, but this was like 4 yrs ago. There are a few 5th gens with lip kits but they're never around in the streets. I'm the FIRST one in El Paso with the 3.5 swap!  lol
