I just got mine painted and decal'ed up, today. Should have white paint in that roof portion that's black, but the shop was out of white...crazy. The decals were a challenge to get right, but they ended up looking pretty decent, especially from a little distance away.
This is the Cusco Subaru Impreza that comes with the Tamiya TA05 V.II chassis.

Hey Andy
did you use masking vinyl or regular vinyl for your masks?
I have a vinyl cutter and I wanted to check so I know whether or not I need to hit my supplier... I've got plenty of regular vinyl...

I'm going to practice with it a few times at WCRC before I try to race it...I've never driven on-road, so it'll be a little bit of an adjustment. Once I get comfortable, I probably will try to get out to a few of the Showdown races. I got all the electronics in it yesterday, so short of a transponder it's good to go.

I bet if you set up a paypal account attached to that, some money would show up. Cant say how much but I bet it would get some support. I also think the hobby could use another website deticated to painting in the lex.
I like the CFX website but its all about the wildest paintjobs and crazy stuff. Which is great if you like racing easter eggs. I dont know. We could still use an RC paint website more for every day and stuff like VTA, RCGT, and F1. I like the way Andy presented his technique for doing the Falken shells and I could stand more stuff like that.
