I spoke to Glassman and he gave me some ideas on what I will need to put on a good showing at our local car show. This will be my first so all recommendations are welcome. As far as the car being detailed out I understand and have no problem. I am looking at getting a banner made up with some history of the car along with dyno records (would you recommend this) Dennis just put the s/c on and thought I would get the print outs. What all would you put on the banner? I also like the under the hood detail I have seen but can't remember who has of the marauder godhead. It is on the backside of the hood. Looked Sharp! Anyway all advice is welcome. If you have one (banner) and willing to put a picture out here that would be great. Thanks for all the help.:beer:

There some guy who makes this killer posters based on your car that make great car show displays. I'll see if I can dig up the information.

EDIT: Found it.

They take a photo of your car (any kind) and make a poster out of it. Here's an example (don't get hung up on the make, it can be any car)

From what was posted up on the forums (by Chad Torrence, iirc) the cost for a poster size print was $65. They did a few different renderings, and cool part is the graphic file can be used for other things, like T-shirts.

Ive always thought that the owners manual and other marauder nick nacs look tasteful in a open trunk. Especially a full sized polished spare.

A friend made this sign for me. It's all paint and no decals.

I'll place a few Marauder propaganda items in the trunk and throughout the car.
