RotM Submissions are FULL!!

   
...but hold on to your seats
This 'aint your grandma's RotM!


From hot rods to sleepers, daily driver-stockers to the extreme. EBPF is home to a plethora of gorgeous rides...and modest members. We're all proud of our EcoBoosts, that's why we're here. So here's your chance to really show them off, and get some recognition. RotM isn't about having the fastest ride, or the most mods. It's about highlighting your cars individuality through background choices, camera angles, lighting, all the TLC you've put into it, but most importantly for sparking new ideas!

Remember...there will ALWAYS be a “Next Mod”. Don't miss your chance to join the Elite in the EBPF Hall Of Fame because you waited until you were “done”. Now's the time!
Submission closes and voting starts as soon as just THREE members throw their hats in the ring with complete entries. Don't wait!! If you're even considering entering: throw some pics and a mod list together and SUBMIT NOW!

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, July 1 @ 12:00am. The majority of you asked to watch the results of the polling process last month, so as promised, this month will be open...BUT, if we don't beat last month's votes, it's going back to a closed voting process.

Now for the boring part: Da Rules

• Submit up to 6 choice pics of your ride, including at least one of the interior. The first pic displayed will be the one used for polling

• List all of the specs and precious mods you've labored over from light bulbs to custom fabs. Mods must be completed!...sitting in a box doesn't countPlease include other details that you feel are important ie. ET times, HP, TQ, etc.

• Your submission must be of YOUR EcoBoost vehicle, no submitting your dream ride, or pics of your neighbors wife car. ;)

• You can only WIN, once per calendar year. Until that happens, you can enter as many times as your heart desires. If you don't win, don't think of it as rejection...it's just another chance to show the other members how silly they were for not voting for you the first time!

• And of course: Anyone caught cheating will receive a MINIMUM punishment of being banned from RotM, PLUS a 1 week forum suspension, with no second chances. DUH

SO; “What do I win?”, you ask!?
Jeez...what is this, all about YOU?      Wait, YES...YES IT IS!!
The winner will have their car featured on the home page for the month AND receive the coveted “RotM” badge above their avatar. PLUS enjoy the honor of joining the crème de la crème, immortalized in the exclusive RotM Hall of Fame!

So, if you know a good candidate, call them a sissy until they enter or if you think you're the best, vote for yourself!

All right guys!

I take good care of it (too much apprently if I listen to my wife lol). I recently installed a TAG system which can track the car anywhere if it gets stolen...

Talking about track: I believe I still hold the world record for the fastest SHO with stock turbos with 12.08 sec. at 113.83 mph!

I think that's about it lol!

Thanks all for voting!

Cheers!

And now the pics (sorry for the interior pic, I can't find any from work's computer or iPhone...):

First and foremost, THANK YOU to all four of July's contestants for submitting your gorgeous rides! This is going to be a tough one! Two SHOs, one Flex, and an MKS - David V. Goliath with two RotM Veterans and two virgin entries in attempt to dethrone!!
...all very unique rides in completely different ways.

So...on to the TWIST! Since the majority of you bent "Da Rules" with your submissions...I've decided to do some bending of my own with how this month's RotM will go down.

I'm not going to lay all the details out for you up front...but I will give you this warning if you want to win...BE READY!!

The first curveball I'm throwing you is that I have unlocked this thread to allow all four contestants four full days to make whatever changes they would like to their entries. Now's the time to try your hand at BBCode, new pics, formatting, fonts...etc.
I'm encouraging all of our members to take this into consideration when voting...aesthetics count.
So make it pretty boys!

Sometime after midnight Sunday, June 15, this thread will again be locked, and all four entries will be cemented as they stand.
