Pretty cool! Didn't expect, that you'll use the white stripes. That pops out.
I'm a little irritated about the sidemarkers at the front fenders. I think they are not in the kit included. What's behind that?

Christian W
All right. It didn't let me off so I did a little research. I found an otion for "cornering lamps" (651). They are super rare I think because I only found 2 GTO in a quick search. Was this your intention?

Ignacio von Braun
Amazing!!!

Kenneth Gifford
The signal lights are in the kit. Not sure why you'd be irritated...

11 March, 19:08

I never saw them so far. I can't remember that they are in the box at all.
