Very nice pics! OS, nice interpretation of the Aussie Helix car!
HPI has definitely made a move in the positive direction with not only well-scaled reproductions, but now even headlight buckets! On some limited models, anyway. But the slight extra weight makes a heck of a difference in appearance.

Mr. Sherman... now, that's not fair... I'm blushing badly, I don't know what to say... 
You're right, this car was in Irvine... a long long time ago... 
Dang, I miss those days... don't you?
Btw, all my concourse cars are intact... hoping that someday they would rest in an R/C Smithsonian somewhere...
Hope to see you run that orange body in a parking lot somewhere... that'll be REAL cool... Castlepark this Sunday sir?!?

Now that's what I'm talking about!
Man, these bodies are awesome! Keep them coming! They don't have to have fancy graphics - the goal here is realism. One can wonders are fine, so long as they look like the real thing.
Here's another shot of the CLK DTM Touring car shell.
