Default New Car! Let the mods begin

Picked up a 1:25 model of my 5th gen. I couldn't have it sit around stock

Plan is to get it as close to looking as mine as possible. First step - dissassemble!

First mod - tint.

The car comes with lots of Earnhardt decals. No offense to Dale, but they gotta go! A little rubbing alcohol later and I've got clean glass.

Dave, Can't wait to see what that spoiler looks like on there. I gotta do something for mine.

Back from the tint shop! Can't say if I'm too happy they used nightshade on my glass
