I have a 08 mustang gt deluxe that I'd like to take to some local car shows this summer. I have never been to one. Is my car show car quality?

It's a nice car, but not "show" quality. I see your car in lots of parking lots. However, you should drive it to club hang outs, cruise nights and be proud but don't hold your breath for trophy if that's what your wanting to compete for.

Outside of a Fox, your Mustang is my next favorite. Kudos and once again nice Stang bro!
 
I wasn't looking for any trophies lol more for just something to do outside of work when I have nothing better to do, I just picked it up a few days ago with 56,000 miles .I do cruise it quite a bit tho haha. What exactly is a club ? Where do I find them? But thanks man it is pretty nice its my 3rd mustang. I ownd a 1999 mustang (babasic, just a v6 and auto) and a 1994 gt with a 5.0 with a few little mods
 
Where I live there is a Mustang club that has an "ice cream" run during the summers. It's a meet up and cruise to a different destination every week or so and hang out. Just enthusiast sharing time and checking out each others rides. Yours is worthy of such a thing. Check out your local hot rod scene. Here in Spokane it's all about Hot Rodding during the summer and the local pizza and burger joints is where they meet up every week. All nice cars (because we have long winters to fix up your ride then show it off).

Once I get my Fox notch restored I'll be looking for an 8' like yours to park next to it :nice:
 
You can deff take it to a show with u nothing wrong with that but like fox said there's nothing special to it that someone can't get by buying one of the same year it won't bring any throphies but it looks great deaf good enough to be and hang at a show

Can I spend some of your money? Some drilled and slotted rotors all around would look sweet on your car. Also, powder coat your calipers to match the stripes on your fenders. Those little things will help make your car stand out big time while kind of being subtle too.
 
I take mine to local shows every chance I get and I also enter it in the Dodge City Days Classic Car Show. Last year I messed up and entered it in the "Custom" category which included a lot of really nice older custom rods. I meant to enter it in the "Modern Custom" category where I think I stand a good chance of placing. My pony has a lot of custom work but I've had a stand up plague made to list them. I'm hoping that will help.

Either way win or not it is still a lot of fun and you help support these shows.

My plaque.
