    Forgive me for my question, because I haven't attended any of these shows, but besides the issue you mentioned, are there other downsides, like having people close to your vehicle (fingerprints/scratches/etc.)?

    Most people at car shows are courteous around the vehicles. I never had any problems.

    Worst problem is KIDS and PARENTS that do not control them. Don't get me wrong, in a way the kids seeing our "cool" cars and hearing their comments and their little eyes getting wide, is a lot of fun. I had a kid with his parent walk up and then the kid put his foot on my door sill and scrape his foot down. Also kids seem to see with their fingers, they just got to touch it. When we were at the friday cruise in, I saw one kid go down the line and touch every car. Other things to watch for are people with coats on that will lean over your vehical to get a better look, and the zipper pull of an open coat right on the cars paint. I got pulled over the other night and the cop had the corner of his metal clipboard about a half inch from my door, I had to tell him to please move it away from my paint job.

    Any deviation from dead stock is a mod, whether its treated as such or not.
