Dibs on 3rd!!!

Maybe the cracks can be filled with crazy glue or even bondo. Might slow the car down with the bondo though. The decals can probably be removed with 3M adhesive remover or equivalent.

I drove by two Pep Boys in my area during lunch and the only one they have is the Pep Boys car which looks a little like the P5 but it only has 3 doors and no fog lights. I think it's a Fucus...I mean Focus. The quality of the cars is not the best but maybe the parts can be interchanged with the ZipZaps from Radio Shack.

(lol)

are you going to lower it?

 

[P5Alive]

No room for lowering since I slapped on some chrome dubs.

 

[DaViper]

Not sure if you're joking or not about the chrome dubs, but if you aren't, where can I get some? Maybe a hot wheels car? I wanna get some custom chrome dubs for it!

put some of those hard, plastic hot wheels tires on it and it will probably drift on hard surfaces..................

I had bought one of these micro racers when they first came out on the market, for like $25, and it came with chrome wheels. I believe they're exactly like the ones on the car now, except they're chrome. Anyway, the car took a crap after I abused the hell out of it so I'm using it for spare parts now.

Radio Shack sells an upgrade package for their cars which includes two sets of wheels/tires and motors/gears. You would have to take your car in to see if they fit. Hell, I'm gonna do that after work.
