I think the car looks good the way it is. Just make sure it's extra clean, and defenatly put the bowtie back in the grill.

I agree with Eddie no matter how many mods you have it does not mean anything without it being clean. Since this is an early season show do a serious spring cleaning to set things up for the season.

I say you should paint calipers and at the same time you could clean the inner rims and inner fenders.

I really like the quasar blue and if you make the color pop I know you will get some attention based on the color alone.

Also polish up and spray down the engine bay.

Good luck at the show. My first show is April 6th and I've got a lot to put on and still to order before that point so I am feeling the crunch too.
