Been thinking aobut this for a while. I can get the Combat II model kit, Rims, and already have the decals. The only question is, does anyone know what color the car is in the movie? No expensive paints, afterall, I'm only 16 with no job.:D Info would be a big help.

I found a site online that has them for the real size and asked him if he could send me a pic of them on plain white background and made my own decals and printed them on decal paper. They're not high quality but it gets the point across of what its supposed to be.

You might have to contact them to get the pic that i got. Another thing I hope i can do is add street glow. But can't find any kits that are cheap enough. I think it will look cool anyways.:cool:

street glow is just neon light attached under the car that shine out from undernethe it. atleast that waht i think he is talking about.

The name and paint code would be really nice, e-mail or posting would work for me.

And for the street glow question, mhpspeed is right, its neon tubing under the chassis that emits a fog like glow, just to make cars look cooler and attract more attention.

Go here to see them on real cars.

Do you have break lights in your area?? Those little party sticks that you snap and they glow for many hours?? if so try to use those at a show, costs a lot less then a complete light kit IMO. Once I have a car for those I will buy them also for that purpose.

Hmm, the ones shown in Fast and Furious?
That's real cool but where to get for car models only?:confused:

check www.hlj.com Thats where i found the RX-7. There's also supras, S200s. Revell-Monogram is supposed to put out the Eclipse, Charger, and Civic sometime late this month. go to www.plastic-models.com for the three cars and some others.

For the neon lights you may want to pick up some "Glow In The Dark" paint (don't know who makes it but i've seen it where i work) and paint the underside of the car so when you turn the lights out it glows from the bottom, i was thinking about doing it but i was too lazy to go to work and grab some (i work at a hardware store). :)

I find it it's the original rx-7 color but the protégé 5 as the same red you can go to your mazda dealer and buy a bottle or a can of touch up (depend if you have an airbrush or not)
