If you noticed, they didn't even make people enter a certain class. Conservative is listed as no body-kits etc. A close friend (congrats) won first for his 2001 Celica GT-S in conservative... but he has a full import body kit, wing, CF hood and CF front fenders, 18" Giovannis, Corbeau seats w/custom leather and full CF interior kit, Tein Coilovers and more.
Conservative??? NO!
Those slacker judges barely knew anything about cars. I even tried to talk to one about a custom part and he had a puzzled look on his face and said... that's neat.
!?!?!!?
