I was there, but just looking. This was my first time going and I was pretty disapointed overall...there was just so much crap that entered. There were people that didn't even bother to wash their cars, make any kind of effort, and some were totally stock. I guess I was just expecting more out of it...maybe I just take car shows too seriously

yeah i entered mine and i think i only saw 4 or 5 that were in the show. I think there was 3 at the vendors area. Not too many really. But it was still fun just to be there. Plus i got me some stuff at the show that will make mine look a good bit better.

I was there but not entered... I think that some people enter there for the convenience... It's a lot easier to have your car in there then outside and some people really just don't care... There were some really clean looking cars there and then there were some really crappy looking cars too.. But it's been like that the past two years. I saw a lot more 7th gens there on saturday then I did walking around on sunday. Hopefully next year I'll be ready to enter

Damn!! Sup with that?? Entering a car to a show and not washing it first? That's just unaceptable. I don't think you have to spend much money on washing a car do you??

nopi is a rice convention....
Man I gave up on Nopi and importnights....
Importnights is all show no go and Nopi is just crap. Im back to classic muscle car shows now . Even thos get boring! best is going to participating in or watching SCCA events. Some people run some wicked cars out there.

i was there but my car looked horrible so please feel free to say anythin you would like about it... mine was the blue 01 with the primered omega bumper bullet fenders and evo cf hood. the reason it was in primer is because i wrecked it like 2 weeks before the show and it wasnt finished when i had to take it out

I went but didint show, I was very surprised about the lack of 7thgens there. I did not see one that was boosted or that had a K20 swap. Also there werent many RSXs there either.

the show was pretty good except for like yall said no 7th gens or rsx's that much! however, i did like the 7th gen on bags....and there was one more in the stereo section of the show. i wanted to show my car, but i decided i'll wait till next year when i can have the dents out. but by next i plan on having boost...or so we'll say but i will! HOLLA!

I have been to a few shows around the Toronto area and there have been quite a few 7thgens and RSX's. I have not noticed any shortage up here.

I think so...that might be the one that is from here. Does it have a crazy madness rear conversion that sort of looks like a Skyline?

yeah i saw that one. Didn't like it that much though. Personally I dont think it's wise for a guy to drive a purple car but whatever floats your boat...

i agree...I saw it in my college parking lot today and thought it looked decent before the butt conversion. I don't understand why you would buy a cute civic with a cute butt just to get fiberglass surgery on it and change it!
