  Thanks for ur compliment, think this forum abit die off le. anyway the paint job was a overkill, think it was too thick, but came out still ok. had a really bad time painting the interiors and sticking all the mini stickers cos my hands tremble real bad.
  
  ya i screwed the front lights totally, cos i using super glue and not Tamiya cement, so when the glue dried it will turn white, hence the front lights become like tat, its not stickers, its a clear plastic covering the lights inside, just like a real car.
