I reckon go the construction theme or race/pit one, easily done. Have the cars on angles like they are atm, and have a mannequin standing in the door like he owns the car, etc..

CD theme (lay out a heap of CD's on the floor, looks cool)
Empty coke can theme....

the wetspot stickers look rediculous on a club display. LTDHO what's with your spoiler is it meant to be matt black to standout ? Other than that they look orsm, especially the black EB and the green EA. I shall head down there and take some photos one day.

Sounded like constructive criticism to me Wayne, Have to take it easy man the strees from Shaun pushing you to get his manual in is really starting to show.

4LSIX8U I like your style.... You sound like a S1KCNT and would like to see your car a cruise one day.

Do you wanna join the Clubstockie?????

So to be invited to the stockie club, it must be a pre-requisite to pick s-h-i-t out of one of the finest cars in this club. Yes or No ?. :nutsycuck

Went to check out the cars today and to take a bunch of pics. I made sure to bring a tripod as the lighting isn't incredible for photo's. The spec sheets for the cars have been put up, but only Sunny's and Steve's are on a proper stand, for mine and Wayne's, they placed them on our rear windscreens to cover up "the wetspot" logo :P Perhaps somebody complained about that, as i could picture a little kid asking "Daddy, what does the wetspot mean" :/ Also asked the girl at the front which was her favourite, Sunny, you win this round lol....

I just got back home from Geelong so i'm too tired post the pics up now, but they will be up tommoz...

I think your close with some of those idea's, and most of them could work. Here's a twist on it.

Main Title = Boys Toys
Setting / theme = the family shed garage ( something everyone can relate to and picture.

Sub themes = ideas

a mechanics blanket over the guard with say a spark plug spanner.

a trolley jack and some new wheels

a gregory manual and some head gaskets

the car cleaning gear

packing the car for a holiday / beach / picnic.

etc etc, all scenes everyone see's in thier own garage each weekend. the display would need to be subtle and minimal to keep focus on the car but just add to the display.

now if you were to add maniquins as well, say a guy leaning over the mechanics blanket with plug spanner in hand, a guy squatting lining up the trolley jack, mum and the kids polishing the family car. etc etc

anyway just a thought.

Ps the cars looked reat in the display, you guys must be proud to have them in there, i know i would.

Probably a good thing to cover them up........

The older generation would not find the stickers amusing and it would be just one more thing that they could complain about with all that time they have on their hands......
