Show display for my G

I'm thinking of doing a raw industrial look, for my show display. Somthing like this. And thoughts?

Looks good but remeber if you do anything reflective on the floor (IE Polished aluminum), you will have extra cleaning to do down south! Given your car's stance, it will probably be a lil difficult to clean the undercarriage!

I'm thinking a dull aluminum look with black. That way I wont really need to do too much.

dude...why weren't you out at HIN this past weekend?

don't worry about the displays man, get the car out to the show scene. you can get the displays later. always good to change things up, so showing the car now and having a display later is a plus

I'd say all black, to really make the paint stand out.

I think you could also get away with less props. I like the industrial/urban cage idea, as it suits the car's (and paint's) look of speed. Sitting still, it looks like it needs to be on a chain (or caged) to keep it from chasing down other cars.

Not crazy about the mad-scientist feel of all the HazMat and strobes theme. Looks more bred from the street or track than from the lab. Just my impression.

Certainly an attention-getting display is key, but I also think it would be really easy to overpower the car with assorted props.

To me, there are certain bad-*** rides that look outstanding on the asphalt streets... ...but look less-impressive indoors, under show lights and the jaded gaze of the carshow crowd.

Just my $.02, which can also double as toilet-paper for added value.

good looking display idea..but just a thought..it's a royal pain in the *** to have to lug all that sh*t inside,set-up,make sure everything is in order,make sure you have a power outlet and then clean everything ..then after the show break everything everything back down..don't get me wrong by any means...it deff looks tight and i like your idea...but just giving you a heads up,cuse i went through the same thing..setting up and breaking down our clubs display..

they make caution tape, but its made out of braided nylon instead. i would go with razor wire myself. you want cheap effects - dry ice and water pans under the car.
