oh don't get me wrong it will happen here if you don't search before you ask. Most old school members are good about it though. Personally, I have been around since the 7thgencivic.com days as a "lurker" of the forums. I am always ready to meet new vic owners and learn. If there is anything you need help with Gearbox is generally a good person to talk to by the way. And if oyu have any tips I am more then willing to soak them up.

i completely understand your questioning tv locations.....and i really dont mean for this to sound as smartass as it will.....

i did it because i can......

when competing in most of your large scale national shows....if you dont have as many tvs as possible you loose points...so in a way, i conformed but used my own flare while doing it, lol

i just thought the doors would look cool and when someone is walking by at a show it draws them into the full fiberglass interior. the rear screen was a last minute thing that i thought would be a cool compliment when someone is checking out the interior....it is also cool because it appears as a heads-up display on the rear glass.

Re: New member here

Have you been published before? The only reason I ask is because alot of the work on this car (including the colors, but especially the custom interior) reminds me of a car a saw in one of the magazines back in '03 or '04.

Either way, not my style, but I understand the show style, and I gotta hand it to you, you did a great job! Reminds me alot of the Aussie show cars.
