Should I go in a truck show?

There is a car/truck show coming up here soon at a Ford dealership. I was planning on going to the show to peek around but now Im thinking maybe I should throw my truck in it? Don't plan on winning or placing but will I look like a fool if I do?


My mods are...
24" wheels, 305/35/24 tires
Harley heads
Roush Grill
Shorty antenna
%20 front tint
smoked LED third brake
Spray in bed liner and Low-pro tonneau roll-up cover
AF1 intake
Corsa Exhaust
Troyer tuned
Kenwood DNX7100 NAV/DVD player
Subwoofer w/ custom box under back seat

No you wont look like a fool, dude truck shows are for truck enthusiasts to gather and discuss trucks. Putting your truck in the show just shows how much more you love your truck and the whole truck scene. I've seen people put there completely stock trucks into shows. Yeah they didnt win, but at least they took pride in their truck. So yeah, enter your truck.

Is the insert lines on your drivers side emblem peeling? If not then i suppose youd be fine with all the mods. Might be a little more impressive if you print out the list in a neat order on some quality, well-designed paper.

LOL it was! I got that fixed....



What do you mean? Should I print out a list of my mods and put it on the window or something if I go to the show?

Well if you're engine is real clean what a lot of people do is print out a nice list of mods and info about the vehicle, sometimes a plaque, usually framed or made into a mini vinyl sign and set it on the engine with the hood up to inform people of what is really in this beast, if it is not noticed at first.

Since all i have under the hood is an intake I think I would just leave the hood down...Do people do that? Also, this way the grill would be showing.

Go for it.

It gives you an excuse to pull the blocks out of the rear to level it. Ditch the steps.

Good lookin' truck.

Go for it. I go to shows just to hang out. Plus you don't have to worry about door dings in the parking lot.
