Default Custom vs. Modified

For anyone who goes to car shows, do you enter your car in the modified class or custom class? Some people tell me that 3 changes that you make to your car is modified while 4 or more is custom. I made more than 3 changes to my vette, but I am not sure if it's enough to be put in the custom class. When I think of custom, I think of major changes to the engine performance besides cosmetic stuff like engine covers, chrome rims, and corsa exhaust.

To the purist, stock means no changes. Sounds like you'll have to decide if your more than 3 changes put you in the custom class. I myself would say, "Yes it does!"

That said, if your changes are Lloyd's mats, removable of visor warning labels and Corsa. Probably not.
