Get your ride in Rides!

[scarbrs]

That’s right gang; we have the opportunity to have our group featured in Rides Magazine.

Here’s the deal - Hot Import Nights has started looking at the Modern Muscle Cars and has asked if we would like to be involved. Their first Chicago show is March 31 at McCormick Place. The contact there has invited us to be a part of this show and would like to place us by the Rides Magazine booth with the possibility of Rides doing a feature on our cars and us. We would need a minimum of 10 cars at the show, but we would love to see as many as possible!

This is open to all Modern Muscle Cars like the GTO and Mustang and all Dodge and Chrysler LX’s. They are looking for mods, so the more love you’ve put into your ride, the better! This will be a great opportunity, for you to get all that hard work noticed.

If you’re interested in entering your car, please contact Eric (scarbrs) or Craig (VanillaRT) immediately, for more details.

[CurbFeeler]

This definitely sounds like it would be a great opportunity! Too bad my Goat is gone...that had some mods ;) I'd be willing to put my car in there but, not sure how much a stock (other than the grille and windows) R/T will stand out. LOL

I'm in.

[SonicGT]

I'm interested let me know what needs to be done, im not super modded though

[mot250]

I'm interested let me know what needs to be done, im not super modded though

Yeah, mine looks pretty plain as well. How 'bout some of our other Charger owners:smt064

It would be nice to have something there to cook all of that rice that is normally associated with "Hot Import Nights"

[InfernoSRT8]

I'm interested didnt spend anything for the outside of the car, pretty much stock appearing SRT8.

[kingkong401]

I am interested as long as they dont want super exterior only modded cars. I dont have much but Wheels and Tires for exterior. I got a Sub System in the trunk and alot of other work that goes :burnout:

Yea since it is import nights that may be what they are looking for, hard to tell.

Oh and welcome to the site :banana:

I think most of the GTO/Charger/Mustang owners have little mods on the exterior. The LX boys tend to have quite a bit more :smt023 . Maybe if I add a NOS sticker it will suffice...

[kingkong401]

Thanks. I have "NOS" as they call it also, lol. Maybe i should slap on a "NOS" sticker like the other guy also. LOL

[CurbFeeler]

Nah, it only works if you don't have any NOS at all. You see it's all psychological!

[kingkong401]

Nah, it only works if you don't have any NOS at all. You see it's all psychological!

Oh yes, now i got ya. Got to psych someone into being scared and thinking you have it......LOL

[CurbFeeler]

Oh yes, now i got ya. Got to psych someone into being scared and thinking you have it......LOL

Now you're thinkin'! LOL.

It would be pretty damn cool if we could get 15-20 new muscle cars there...nothing like being out of place but the best cars there :)

[kingkong401]

Could not agree more!!

[Scooter80]

This all sounds a little strange. But if it's true and we get enough interest, count me in. Like most, there's not a whole lot to my outside, but there's a bit inside!

[Twisted mike]

dam don't have a newer car...but atleast my work will be there!!:banana:

[scarbrs]

The sticker make it go faster right.
My best story about a Nos sticker.
I'm at Grand Audio in the back talking to an installer.
This hispanic kid rolls us in his "Cavilire".(need a spell checker here)It's a peice of junk,but it has Nos Stickers on the Mirriors. I'm thinking Sleeper right. NO i ask the kid he puts his head down in shame "no". It's a shame some people slap a sticker on it and think it's something.

I'll bet you that 50% of the cars you see with those stickers have nothing under the hood :)

[Vanilla RT]

I will be talking to the guy in charge of the cars at HIN again this week. Any questions you guys have please post them here or at LXForums.

[Stoenr]

Ugh, another Saturday event! I hate my job!

[Ragnar]

Yeah...I might be in. How soon do I have to commit? I might ne able to get a few others as well. I've already passed this notice on to them.

[Dark Horse]

If you have a cool ride, you should show it.
HIN's usually have some muscle cars that attend.

4 years ago, I was at a show (mostly imports) and I brought my Vette. It was very well received there. More than you would have ever imagined.
Just because it is called Hot Import Night, it doesn't mean that a good car is not appreciated.

If I finish my car by then, I am planning on going with my Mustang.

Steve

[SonicGT]

Any more info on this?

[CurbFeeler]

Any more info on this?

Eric, what's the good word here? We in or out? :)

[scarbrs]

No word yet.
They got till Monday then we'll see.

[mot250]

Count me in if we need more cars to qualify. I said before my Mustang is pretty plain on the outside but it cleans up nice!

[INTRUDER]

I am just putting the finishing touches on my 2005 Mustang GT.
I have about 50 custom parts on the car. Suspension, wheels paint,
TONS of engine mods..etc.
If some one will send me the contact in fo I can send some pics in the next few days.

Last summer my car won many trophies and this year she looks even better.

We realize that, at least I hope everyone does, if not good disclaimer, LOL :headbang:

[INTRUDER]

IF !!! I DO NOT WANT TO STEP ON ANYONES TOES!!! again IF!!!
No one contacts us about the show. Then why don't we just register our selves? It is $57.50 to register your car.

I think this would be a great deal of fun < I would love to have my riode in the show and spend the night with a bunch of car guys.
hers is the link

Just my 2 cents

I'm assuming by no one contacts us your meaning that scarbrs and vanilla rt don't get any response from the HIN guys. I saw that link on the site as well and was wondering about that. Although my car outside of a newer gen musclecar display wouldn't be anything special since it's not modded too much. Although from the site it looks like it may be worth it for the "scenery' lol

Agreed! I'll wait to hear word and if not, I might just pay to be there.

[kingkong401]

Same here, just waiting......

[INTRUDER]

Agreed! I'll wait to hear word and if not, I might just pay to be there.
I agree also...... lets wait and see. But if we decide to go, it might be a good idea to go as a group. There is strength in mumber! We might be better of as a group than as singles. I am prety sure that I will be going one way or another, Just think it would be better in a group. Thanks for listening, Gus

[Vanilla RT]

I have some info. They only want modded vehicles. Performance does not matter (sorry about that). They are willing to give us $7.00 off. They said they would promise to put us by Rides. Rides may do a feature on us. This is for Chicago only. If you are serious about showing off your hard work pm me. If you are interested in another location pm me and I give you contact info.

If anyone goes get some good photos :)

[scarbrs]

They have a coupon code entry field for registration that I am guessing they would use for things like this so I thought it was a logical question.

I'm sure I can get one...I posted on LS1 but, I haven't been back since there really hasn't been any concrete updates. Once I know more, I will post there and we'll get one or two in.

Well if you cant find anyone else with more looks then me I can still be up to going, just dont know if they would want me or not, lol. I read this from ls1gto.com. There was one other person interested with some exterior apperance mods, part carbon fiber hood and a few other small things.

[kingkong401]

Thanks guys. Maybe I will still attend as long as I can get in...I will keep checking for updates.

No, those are TSW Thruxtons 18x8 front, 18x9.5 rear.

[CurbFeeler]

I hate to sound like a "hater" but, I think it's dumb they only want exterior modded cars. While many of us do enjoy modding the outside, that's not what a "muscle car" is all about. Just seems like they only want rides there that sort of fit in with the overall "culture" at the show.

There, now I feel better.

[larrygto]

Buy some of that temorary paint and put some "Ricer" graphics all over the car then maybe they will let you in?

[InfernoSRT8]

[quote=scarbrs;5212]Thou's arnt Stock Rims right?


That's what qualifies you as a muscle is wheels?
Boy i spent my money at the wrong shop ](*,)

[INTRUDER]

Dudes ya'll going to have to wait a bit on the pics.
The hood is at the painter gettin g ghost stripes..
The custom engine mods are getting powder coated.

Ha ha! Yeah, I think it's a shame. It's like if we had a muscle car show and wanted to let the "imports" in, we would allow them but they would have to be stock :)

I hope you all know thats not what i ment by the wheels.

I know there being lame but KK's car should be there and thats what will get him in, in there eyes anyway.

Write them a letter.
I personely don't think there doing us any favors and feel that 7$ is very weak. They want to move into differant Markets but don't want to change enough to do it. There loss. I'm going because of the Rides Opportunity nothing else,well that and Craig said i have to.

Yea I agree, if I was more appearance modded the rides thing is why I would be going. I do agree though they are charging 50+ bucks and only giving a small discount, not the best. Oh and I would probably go for the models too :snap:

The models!! My wife is already giving $h!t on that after watching NOPI TV with me the other night. I told her I would bring my 19 year son as I could care less about thin, perfect bodied, big chested, young (legal) girls. LOL
