Question Car show posters? What do you use?

I did some home made desktop posters and put them in frames and printed it on photo paper.

What else do you guys use??

In Photoshop I put together a 150 dpi 16"x20" image that I then uploaded to http://www.mpix.com and had printed on foamcore board with a luster protective coating. Total cost is about $35. I should have the print in time for this weekend's Unique Performance car show with Chip Foose and Tim Allen.

Here's my poster:



The text is much easier to read at 100% as it has a chiselled affect applied to it.

I'm going to display both of these. Office Max's print center is putting them on a foam backing. Total cost for both is about $12. Both are somewhere around 9 x 14.

The first one was also created by TacoBill's bro-in-law, and the second one was created on PhotoBuckets "Qoop". It's 448 pictures of the car during all stages of it's modification.

Looks really good!

Only thing I would experiment with is changing the font to either Cornerstone or Denmark (all uppercase).
