My modified Tamiya Egress combines old and new hop-ups. The foundation is a reissued Egress, with smoky windows, sparkling silver, improved ball cups and upgraded aluminum suspension, steering and transmission from G-Force option parts.
The stance is vintage Egress using cast metal uprights and lower suspension mounts and electronics from the 1990s. The updated tire and wheel comb for a more refined appearance. The bling upgrades can be seen in the Egress thread: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=47689&p=541985#p541985

As long as I'm in, I don't think you have to worry about it.

If you hurry and modify this post to be pics of your entry, then you're probably in. But if you wait, you're probably not in.
