Hey,

My mistake. I'm tired Yes. 2004 GTO..NICE!!

Polar Lights kit seems in scale. Parts have a detail between Revell and Tamiya. Engine detail. Suspension. Floor interior and build up walls. Chrome rims look beautiful(stock and other). Front lights need to have the black painted on them. The body is predecalled, but there appears to be a seperate decal sheet with the pontiac emblem and liscense plates. I had a choice of solid: red, black, yellow, and a silver. I am not sure if there are other color offerings. I hope there will be the blue and purple. I choose the red bc. it looks fast as hell. I would have gone with the yellow, but the drift car is yellow, and wanted a different model then that.
Body looks good.

Nose

Tail and other body parts

Suspension..mostly

Engine and interior

Chrome

nice, thanks for sharing. That cheap looking box makes it look more like a toy than a model car though lol

go out and get some 91% Alcohol, it will strip that faster then you can say. well, you'll say a few sentences, and if you type fast you can write a book. its takes about a day to strip the paint. but it comes off easiely. it awsome that PL put extra decals in the kit for the people who want to strip it.

as for the blue and purple, PL is doing the 05 (There are some differences between the 04 and the 05), and the 05 will be available in that beutiful purplish blue.

PL is doing a helluva a job getting these new kits out, seems like they got awsome detail and build just as nice. I just hope they don't pull a Lindberg and give us awsome kits and then disapear. and I hope RC2 does'nt ruin them

gasman03 where'd you hear that an '05 would be issued? I haven't heard about those. IF so that would be great.

blubaja--the silver color is the chase version of these cars. Kind of like the pearl whites on the last releases.

Cheeze and rice!!! My lhs raped me of $18.50. I got a discount after that though. Sheesh! O well. I would have got the silver one if I knew it was rare. O well. Doesn't really matter.

$13.95 is the Manufactuers suggested retail price. The cheapest i've seen PL kits around me is 20 bucks.
