Thanks! I prefer the blue one. I might swap out wheels/tires on the red one for a more aggressive appearance. I have another set of aftermarket DBS wheels that I might use on the red one. Really stupid fact: Hobby Design's DBS wheels are made with female mounts. The Tamiya DBS has male mounts. Stupid, stupid, stupid
On the blue one I used a couple of large sheets of thin kitchen foil coated with Microscale's foil adhesive. Each side was one large piece trimmed to fit so there would be no visible seams. There was some cleanup required to remove the adhesive residue. It worked a bit better than the Bare Metal Foil used on the red one.

One thing, though: the BBS challenge wheels look tooo small :-(

Thanks! The BBS wheels scale out properly, Tamiya's DBS wheels/tires are oversized, especially the tire profile (they used R35's tires, Enzo tires would have been better). Lower profile rubber on their stock rims would help.
