Wow, that is cool looking. At first I thought it was real. Then, I noticed it was sitting on a table... Where does one buy something like this?

Comicbook guy would be upset of course, but is fun rolling this Vibe around and seeing the details inside.

Hey thats really neat! it does look very detailed. I think the photos came out really well. italianhorses.netthis site is really neat he has a tutorial section on there that explains how to make a very nice photo booth for model cars. also a bunch of other tutorials on building model cars. really cool site anyways. It def worth a look.

Happy Thanksgiving.When I initially got it, I was thinking the same thing. To paint mine Fusion O. I have a can of that color.But the more I looked at it, the more I decided to leave it alone.There are many nooks and crannies on the model and to totally repaint it would be a chore. If you do decide, there are a couple of tiny screws on the bottom of the car that may... just may separate the interior from the exterior.If you do undertake this task, post pictures.MSAGRO
