The Modified (Gilmore Car Museum)

The Modified at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners is a showcase of modified cars where nothing is left stock. Expect JDM icons such as the Nissan GT-R, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX-7 and Honda NSX, low and wide stances with aero kits, turbocharged and supercharged builds, restomods, drift-ready cars, custom wraps and engine swaps such as LS motors in drift builds and EV conversions in old-school imports. A Rhino Dyno is on site for paid pulls, awards range from People's Choice and Best in Show to Cleanest Build, Certified Sleeper and Money Pit, and there's a bounce house for kids.

Our take: Leave time for the museum; visitor admission covers the museum as well as the show.
