TR,
Some judges have questionable credibility. Therefore have questionable results during competition.
The criteria when judging these cars oso not entirely correct.
I have attended a classic car show (I won't disclose the car show event info). The top winners of the show were modified, with non-ori parts cars. Some even kacuk other car parts. The interiors had been re-done, of low taste.
on the other hand, the cars that I expected to win got consolation prizes only. As matter of fact, the cars that should win had all the ori parts (as far as I can tell), clean interior, even ori chrome bits. The finishes of the ori parts are better than factory standard.
I suspected the judges are "geng" with the so-called winners. For me, Malaysia car show/competition is still waaaaaay behind standard. Say to say....
