Thanks for the comments guys. I tinted the windows by just spraying the inside of the window black. And I just sprayed the wheels black. I had a hardtime taking the wheel off the spindle, so the brakes had to go black too, but I think it looks cool. Here are some more pics.

I had some testors paint left over from a model car awhile back. You better not be copying mine. I wanna see some variety in these you bunch of bitches. haha. Post up some pics. I just finished up the side exhaust. I'll have some pics up tomorrow. Do I dare do something with the cars paint?

Its made by Maisto. You could probably find them on your site. But just google diecast models. I got this as a gift for Christmas. They average around $30-40 though.

Search on ebay for vs-diecasts and he carries that exact same car along with a lot of old mustangs, mach 1's, shelbys, cobras, etc. no fox or sn95's though :(
 
Here are the side exhaust pics. I didn't tape them on, they are glued. The tape was just holding them in place. After I finished the exhaust I realized I might be able to pull off a making a cage out of the left over exhaust. Stay tuned.

Well these come assembled so it makes it a lot easier. I could never do anything like this on a start from scratch model. I always mess those up. But this just comes apart and then you make your own mods. Its fun.
