When I was active with my team back home, I was bent on a good looking car. And I paid the price for such. I was the guy who did the armor-all on the tires for the heat races.. Painted the white hoosiers every week, and CLEANED the car.

As for looks, I still pay for the wraps, because when I show people what I do and did, I hate to show em a blank car with some die-cut decals. Yeah, it costs a lot, but for me, and the owner too, it was satisfying to hear that we've got the best looking car on the track. Easy to see, basic colors that contrast well. No flashy barbed wire, smoke and fire, dragons and stuff (the modifieds come to mind). Basic and clean. Have we been beaten by cars with WD-40'd chassis and gel-coat fiberglass, and duct tape numbers, yeah many times. But the 800 bucks I put into the looks of the car, or team alone, as we've got shirts too is money well spent IMO. And realistically, that 800 would go into the motor, or tires, fuel, whatever.. But when were building stuff out of our garage, and running against Don Ott and Wessmar engines, if were gonna finish 6th, were gonna look good doing it.
