I agree with what you're saying there Wayne. If you put your car into a show, its there to be judged ... by the show judges as well as the public. Gotta take the sweet with the sour.
I'm sure my Stagea had a few comments made I wouldn't approve of, but I'm aware of that. Compare it to Mike's Stag, and Mike's is just pure porn with those rims (I want those rims) when you look at it from a show viewpoint. However, I enter my car as part of a club display (not individual display), trying to put it out there that its not just a family wagon. Its my daily, my track car, my time attack car, and my weekend car.
But still, gotta take the criticism as well as the admiration.
