Best New Product Winners From Goodguys 2019 PPG Nationals
The PPG Nationals attracts more vendors than any other Goodguys event – a massive presence that fills the expansive Bricker building and acres of space outside! It’s almost like a trade show where you can bring your shopping list and stock up on all the goodies you need for that next project.
There were literally hundreds of vendors and manufacturers set up for the event and each of them had the opportunity to enter the annual Goodguys Best New Products award showcase. From these entries, awards were selected in nine different product categories, as well as Best Indoor Exhibit Booth or Best Outdoor Exhibit Booth. Award winners announced during the Saturday afternoon awards gala. Congratulations go out to all the winning companies for continuing to create cool new parts that help us build great cars!
