Default Car Show Display pics please.

I'm hoping all you car show guys would be willing to post a pic of your display, specifically the board that discribes your car. And please tell me what it's made of and where you had it made.

Thanks in advance.

Here's what mine looked like



Make it on your computer then go to a fed ex kinkos and bring it on a thumb drive or email it to them. Then tell them you wanted it printed on foam core and laminated. After the its sturdy enough to play Frisbee with. Costs like $20 I think.

Many of our club members as well as many Fbody, and Corvette owners are using these display stands. Some use there factory window sticker others creat display boards and place them on these stands. Several members went to a local sign shop "Fast Signs" and had the boards made.

I'm going to assume photoshop was used, but I just want to confirm thats the program you used. I like the final product and will need one for my car for next year.

18"x 24" and I used photoshop to make it. I would ask kinko's what sizes the offer before you make it.

The thing about a show board is you want it flashy and simple because 99.9% of the people that walk by it will spend 10sec or less looking at it. The board is just an additional attention getter. Just list what is important about the car and the major mods...and then if someone is interested enough to really want to know more they will find you and ask you about it. At least thats what I have found and I have been to a few shows!

http://www.superstylings.com/ designed and printed my board for me and they did an outstanding job IMO. If you order one tell them the guy with the orange TA recommended them please!

Our showboard, ...
Needs to be redone for next season tho. Plus, I want to make it a bit longer on the bottom side with extra material & then bend it over so it'll stand up by itself, with a tire on it like the stands above.
