Detailing Body Kits
 
I bought Hpi Racing's body detailing kits A & B and could not be happier with the way my shell looks now. I just need to get a couple bendy of bendy straws then I need to paint and glue them on my oil cooler so it looks like it actually has the hoses, and finish cutting out the two side oil cooler holes, Ive cut out the main center one and I painted my windsheild wipers silver . but I left just the blades in black and I drilled the shell so I could mount my side mirrors and those were painted metalic blue. I used the same color for the base coat of my shell. I found some real Duct tape the silver aluminum tape backed with sticky stuff kind and made actual mirror inserts, then I found some stickers from a Gundam kit that say caution and something else and I put those on the mirrors to make it look like it says caution objects in mirrors may be closer than they appear. Of course I cut out a half circle on the rear bumper so I could mount my exhaust and I will post some pics later when I get home

to make intercooler hoses look true to life - go to auto parts store and buy some windshield washer hose, put some contact cement on the intercooler ends and push the hose over the end.

The hose is black rubber, you can't get any closer than this, looks just like the real deal.
