Hey there, finished this one off before I head off to University next year. Not happy with the windshield fitting at all, even though this is a simple kit, the parts don't fit really well. Gave up half way but finished it off yesterday. Duplicolor met. green and wet look clear. Added chrome trim (huge headache) and did something with the tailights. Also added seatbelts and a mirror for more realistic. Thanks for checking it out.

Looks good, what did you use for the chrome? That sure doesn't look like foil, too smooth and reflective. Very sharp.

Thanks. I got some cheap tape like this https://www.google.ca/search?q=chrome+tape&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=947&site=webhp&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwifu--UrqjMAhUGKx4KHaXVD9MQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=Nz4AQtjCL3HBzM%3A at a dollar store and cut them into size by first using some masking tape as a template. It takes lot of time, patience and effort however it sticks on pretty well.

But,it still has a police package under that car.I owned a few in marked Crown Vics.Fast cars.And I have to tell u that the seat belt detailing is wild.In one pic,I had to look closer to see if it was a real car.The chrome on the belts in the back seat,looks great.Thanks for the tip.
