But there's nothing under your hood Tim or has that changed?

There's a motor in there right now for mock up of a new intake and a few other little bits and pieces. It's coming back out Sunday to get the engine harness back on, swap the mounts, and do a valve adjustment. My point was that nobody would even notice or care about the work done to the motor. It's all about the body kits, and other stick on junk that people just slap on their cars that they give a shit about.

You don't say? I've got all 3 of those on my car. It's the real JDM stuff too, from Japan. Not that eBay shit they say is JDM.

Not true at all! At least at the show this year. While I will admit that there were some riced out eBay-mobiles (but lets be honest, there will be at every car show)...there were also several clean and performance driven cars too. People care about everything at NOPI. During judging, they check under your hood. And there were performance shops there as well so don't assume it will go unnoticed, I saw lots of amazing engine work (I just couldn't get pics of all of it).
I spent about an hour each talking to the owners of the the Genesis Coupes, the turbo S2K, and the silver Supra about their engines. I think everyone would be pleasently surprised.
Thats also why they have the "Street" class...it is specifically meant for cleanly/lightly modded daily driver type vehicles. Street class has no full bumper replacement body kits, full paint jobs, or custom body work. That is all reserved for the "Custom" and "Wild" classes.

I have custom body work done to my car. My bumper is a replacement, but it's still OEM somewhere in the world.
Ben, I hear what you're saying. I know not every car at shows is just a shitty eBay/Auto Zone catalog car. I'm just giving the "look at me" show car guys a little shit. Whenever I go to car shows its the classic/muscle car crowd. A lot of those cars are trailer queens and not drivers. I have a hard time understanding that. I like the function and form types of cars that look great and run great too.
