There's a reason for your pet peeve...
If the doors/trunks/hoods are not open, you won't get marks for those categories. Since you have no idea when judges come by, or in some cases multiple judges, owners literally have to leave all that shit open for the entire duration of the show. Mod list signs, again, it's there for the judges. You're not going to get recognized for a custom built block with high compression pistons without a mod list. So for any vehicle that's looking to seriously compete for an award, it sucks for you.
I'm not taking pictures for awards, I'm taking pictures for a good picture! haha
