It won't help. They will still ask questions while tripping over the display. I thought about making a stencil on my breather that says LS1, but decided against it because I know people will still ask. I'd be rich if I had a dollar every time I saw someone ask what size engine is in a car when there badges all over the car and/or engine.

The funniest thing I ever heard for car show advice was: "Show up late. Leave early. Do a burnout!"
I don't agree with the burnout part anymore because most shows are in crowded and cluttered areas which makes it dangerous, and people complain which gets events closed. Anyway, I do like to show up "fashionably late" and leave out just a little before everyone else leaves, but that's me. The main thing is to keep a good attitude, try not to sound arrogant or boastful when getting compliments, and you don't have to wipe on it all day.
Don't get hung up on going for trophies/awards or you will start getting upset. Just go to have fun and if you get an award, just look at it as icing on the cake. Take any criticism with a grain of salt, because it's usually just someone's opinion anyway.
Something else I like to do is stand/sit away from my truck where I can still see people around it. I like to watch their reactions and try to hear what they have to say without them knowing it's my truck.
