S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

Default Hot Wheels CR

So anyone who is into model cars prob knows that Hot Wheels finally came out with an s2k. Could be better, could be worse. It does come with a hard top and a wing so I figured I'd see what I could do to mod some CRs.

Not perfect, but I think they came out pretty good. Sorry about the pics being a bit blurry, not the best camera...
Mods:
rivets drilled to disassemble body, interior, wheels, etc.
body painted authentic apex blue pearl, black top, and clear coated
rear CR emblem
text on windshield banner deleted
yellow seats
yellow shift knob
yellow and red tachometer on dash
exhaust painted silver
CR-like gray 5 spoke wheels



Also made a GPW of my car with Volk Le37's



Couldn't forget Rio right?



With some very carefull clay work, I was also able to keep the headlights and tails even with a color change. Most people that paint models just paint over everything. I've yet to do a Berlina, but I plan on making more especially during some down time this winter. If anyone is interested in having one made just let me know, I have a wide selection of wheels and all paint colors.
