More photos from the Elmhurst show

This guy won best of show with his GS400 sponsored by Circuit City, Pepsi and DUB. It's a bit off the hook. Monitors in the sunvisors, headrests and trunk; OK. But two in the engine compartment and one ON the fuel filler door?

I'll add more pics of the Scions later this am. Here's one of my favorites.

Supercharged Corolla ?!?

There was a TV crew there conducting interviews. (I can't believe the commentator wore a black jacket in 94°F weather. Like Down2theC said, the SolaraGuys had their few minutes of fame. As I understand it, the chick being interviewed here is only 14yrs old and this is her car. She had to have a friend drive her car to the show. (I don't remember 14yr olds like this when I was a kid.)

--- Scion tC ---
Our company donated two polished TRD exhaust systems for the Scion tC. I had the honor of choosing two cars that showed some potential. (The catch is that the car had to have the OE exhaust on it to quality.)
Here are the two lucky winners.

I can only add a couple since Phreaks coverage was so good.

Phreak not only gave me the decal, he pointed out the perfect place for it. (Unless I get a TRD FSTB...)

Phreak takes second...

I think I would have won best mod for this trunk addition if I didn't hide it from the judge for fear of being kicked. 93 deg... the cold draft was key. Yummm.

Should have just listed NOS in my mod sheet. Think they'd buy it?

Holy crap! Me too! Now I have to upgrade. I'm hoping Reggie shares the setup that makes that sound.

Nice cars.

The kanji on that scion tC is backwards.

Nice catch! I should have noticed this. I probably was looking more at the driver's side. The Kanji translates to "Samurai"

This was a die cut decal which I assume looks correct when applied to the driver's side.

Here is the reversed photo. (Now a right hand drive!!) :lol:

OMG! Sorry for the life sized photos. They're not mine. (Linked to another site) Props to the site owner.

Hello! Thanks for signing on. Here are some pic I took off a link on ScionLife. I really enjoyed seeing your Celica. It brought back good memories of when I was a kid. I had the Red Gen2 Solara parked across from yours.
