Default Clean or Supreme?

Last season I tried my best to have one of the sickest set up for my tC. The thing is that I had a cleaner set up rather than a gaudy, overly flashy, on that didnt go well together at all...

The ugly ones with too much of the wrong things usually got the trophies and that somewhat frustrated me....

What's more important to you? Clean or Gaudy?

Im interested in what everyone else likes seeing....

Function over form. I hate it when people put unnecessary, non-functioning, hideous, parts on their cars.

You ain't kidding brother! I voted for 'Clean'. You could have the cleaniest ride at a show but 9 out of 10 times it will be looked over for the obnoxious and gaudy car. That's why I don't do shows. It isn't worth it for me.

Clean! Unfortunately that will rarely win trophies. Seems these days, judges are more concerned with TV's and lambo doors. I will never have either.

Without a doubt CLEAN!

I'm not surprised by who gets da "trophies.." Just look @ society's mainstream whackness. . Music for instance is a prime example of this - what's selling these days isn't about the art, but how can pin da beat to sum whackA$$ deviant lyrics that talk about non-sense and people will buy it. Throw in the "booty-shackin" element with who cares what else & bam ---- platinum..

thats exactly what i mean... some shows have to do a cleanest ride trophy (which rarely happens) and the person that wins it isnt recognized for sh*t

its ok... at least ppl still love clean!

I will add a my opinion on the posters car though.. I don't really think under the hood looks very clean. I suggest instead of "trying" to match the blue, go for another color to compliment your blitz blue instead (cuz the blueS you use creates an unmatched flow).

if you are in it for the trophies go big... if your in it for all the street looks and girls and stuff... keep that thing clean... and i would go like black or red under the hood, so that your motor stands out and not blend with the body

When I goto a show.......the cars that are the most impressive are the ones that are clean first and foremost.............then I look at the rest of the stuff........flow is very important.........like is the motor matching in parts and function........does the interior match and flow.......is the wiring hidden is another big thing.........

I too have been to shows where the pretty/gaudy cars got all the attention and I entered a primer black 1970 Tempest with steelies and slicks.........and never won anything but got offers to buy her every time.........and she was always clean.......and I always got good compliments.

Clean all the way. There is no need to "Paul Walker" your car.

I'm a firm believer in all go and no show. I'm sure I'm not alone.
