Man Herblenny would have had my vote, but his pics are not as good as his winning entry last year. Ryan gets my vote for the clean pics and awesome MZ3T
 
Good entires!! Gotta go with Protege03ak46 super clean for very little modification...kinda.
 
Herblenny got mine this month. Cali Axela was second choice, but there is more done on the rx. I always go for the most highly built as I understand the effort involved. Of course ultimate end appearance is always a factor too. Still if you have put in the effort to build a completely custom car from the engine through the body, then it's almost a guarantee to get my vote. Keep up the good work guys! :)
 
torn between herblenny and weaksauce. sexii rx7 and sexii mx6 *drool*. Good luck to everyone. Nice cars dudes and dudettes
 
Weaksauce got my vote, and props for a seriously well-sorted build on an mx6... always loved those cars, and you don't see 'em done well like that often!
