I went out and bought a Scion XB 1:24 diecast metal self assembly model, and decided to add some customizations.
Customizations include:
two tone paint job
custom black rims
tinted glass
TV and sound system in trunk
custom exaust pipe
GPS unit in front
few more things I cant remember- i could have made the project better had i painted around the doors and truck, but i forgot, and if i sanded a bit smooter, but overall I was pleased how it turned out and i hope you guys like it. :)

how can i lower it if it has the built in axel where the wheels just pop on in the back, and the front the axel is atached to the frame. I am willing to try getting it lowered if i get an idea how i can do it...
Thanks for the comments guys :)

I have to say the body is pretty scratched-up. The trunk seams still have old paint on them. And it's in desperate need of dropping. Keep working :P

good attempt there
something i must comment
well, i guess you are using a low grit sandpaper to sand the model because i see lots of scratches and usually you can't hide it even with great amount of paint......well, you need to use high grit sandpaper though..
then when it's smooth
you paint it
:)
that's all
cheers!
