Unhappy What should I do?

I recently got a 1/24 2003 Ford Expedition by Dub City. I really like it and I'm too afraid to do anything to it because I might mess it up. Anyone have some suggestions?

Thats a toughy. They look very high quality, and they already have lots done to them. You could add LED lighting.

Check with Pyrotekniks. I believe he did some LED lighting. Or search around for diecasts with LED's to get some ideas.

Re: Re: What should I do?

So do you have something in mind for what you want to do? There are a lot of things that don't require much effort or modification to the car. Ask away young skywalker.

Re: What should I do?

I'm already putting in hydraulic pumps in the trunk (non working). Does anyone know how to remove the speakers and parts? They're glued in.

Take the car apart and get at them from the back. Little pegs that have been melted on the end hold the speakers in. Just scrape off the melted parts with a knife and pull the speakers out.

I have had enough of his BS, he wasnt an asset to the forum, and didnt understand the forum rules.
