The thing I hear more than anything else...."This is the cleanest car I have ever seen!". I just rolled over 128k miles, so obviously that's not the reason why. This year has been awesome. 7 shows, 9 trophies, including 2 "Best of Shows". That's more than the last 6 years combined. So, although some purests did not like my side strobes, they are a HUGE hit. I have attended 2 "invite only" shows this year. I had no idea they even existed. I also received an in-person invite to the massive inside show in Portland, OR in 2024 .I told my wife, don't let me change anything else! I just have a good time. I hand stickers out to kids. Not just any stickers, stickers of my car. I also have a "mini-blue" under the hood and have recently added graphics and clear hood props to that. If the shine does not bring you in, that will for sure. Most of all, I am just humbled by all of the attention and have a blast showing my car. Trophies are nice, but if that is why you go, good luck. Most of the time the car is picked by the grand daughter walking around with grandpa, i.e. the judge. I promote my detail business which also has gone wild this year. Be happy, make others happy and good things will happen! Link to "mini-blue" Google Photos
Don't suppose you have a more inclusive pic of the blue Mopar parked next to you in pic #5 by any chance? Can you show us a pic of those side strobes on another Challenger?
