Do I paint the front spoiler the same color as my body or do I leave it white?
Also, what paint do I use to paint the cockpit?

you can use hobby paints to paint up the cockpit if you wish. then top it off with a flat clear top coat.
its your choice what paint you wish to do on the wing... or just leave it white. i normally make the wings white or at least put a bright colored square on the corners of my wings so i have a reference point when i drive close to the kerbs. i would be able to spot where i can turn in without riding the kerbs too much... works for me...

They say to paint the cockpit from the outside.
I just got finished painting my body. I cut it out first, test fit it, and then I masked off the sides with plastic wrap and tape so I wouldnt get any over spray.

I am looking at my sticker sheet and I dont know where alot of the stickers go. The instructions for the body dont tell you where they all go either. Does someone have a link or a picture of where they go?
I have also seen some people run Zen racing foams. Where can I get these tires?

Thanks for posting those pics Gtype. It looks like they've made a change since the original pics that where posted on the web. The car pictured on Tamiya USA's website shows the bottom part of the bulkhead (the part the T-plate mounts to) made of carbon fiber. But the new pics you posted clearly show it as an aluminum part. I wish they would have stuck to the carbon but it's probably cheaper to use aluminum.
