I cant seem to get a good opinion about whether to display trophies at a show or not. The judges I ask dont seem to have an opinion and say its an individual thing. I just was on the mustang forum and their take was NO=tacky.

My car is not at the level Id personally like (yet) so I display the few trophies I have neatly in the trunk along with my crossfire book of info. I guess I want to help promote how good the car has done so far...give it some street cred so to speak. I suppose if/when I do reach the point of trophy saturation I wont bring them along but then the car will be up to speed (show quality) and will definetly speak for itself.

So what's your guys take on this?

 

I think it depends on the type of show. I would not at a "Participant" judged show but if it is a "Judged" show, I have always displayed them. I have seen that most judges look over them as they walk around. It is funny as they don't seem to want others to see how much time they are looking at them but I feel they are looking at the credibility of some of the past shows where you did well.

By the way, participant judged shows are usually a popularity contest and just end up pissing people off as their hard work is all up to the "buddy" system.
