Here is a picture from their website. I'm impressed how close they resemble the real car, not many do.

I only wish they had the newer model.

Some rims and rubber



You know...having mismatched tires like that you're sure to experience some bad snap-oversteer!

Seriously cool kit.

The tires came with the kit mismatched. The rear tires are super soft but the front ones are hard.

smapzy, build yours!!

Windows masks removed and plastic overspray film removed too. Soooo glossy!




Still debating if I should paint on the outside of the roof for the convertible top look and risk messing up the body or if I should leave it as is with the glossy top.
