Default Yet another cheap ride

We picked up our second Crossfire Coupe today. It is a silver one, not the gorgeous Flame Red one we already have. It was even cheaper than the one we bought a month ago--under $12 from Costco!

They have 1:18 scale models of the Crossfire Coupe. The details are very good but there could be more attention to painting the engine compartment and the interior. Not enough paint used.

No enthusiasm for anyone else owning one so I withdraw my earlier offer.

Jim

I'd really like a roadster if anyone comes across one.

Cruised on down to costco and there it was, sitting on top of the heap of other so called exotics as it should be. So know I also am the proud owner of two Crossfires, my '04 silver blue aqnd this new mini-xfire in silver.
Thanks for the heads up.

I bought a model on ebay and I'm working on getting it to look exactly like my car down to the magnaflow tips . I dont have much time though, so it won't be done for a while.

Too bad they only available in silver.

Hey, any one tried to re-paint them? maybe take them apart and spray paint the body?

thats what I'm doing, I'm either getting a can of color match spray from paintscratch.com or seeing how much a body shop would charge to paint it.

I did this for a model of my brothers 3-series... It turned out real well. http://www.paintscratch.com/ is always a perfect match... I used them for my grill also!
