There are several ways this could be said. It depends on what the 'it' is.
In your sentence, ostentar might work better than mostrar. Here's a saying that pertains to a person's body (good looks, etc.): Lo que se han de comer los gusanos, que lo disfruten los humanos. |

Thanks Rusty. Actually the 'it' was my supposed guitar playing prowess!

I might be wrong, but I would use "jactar", if I understand correctly what "flaunt" means.

Taking the flaunt to be imperative, as I think it should be, and taking the it to stand for anything at all - talent, wealth, jewelry etc. -, how about
Si lo tienes, osténtalo [or, using Chileno's suggestion, ...jáctatelo]? |
