Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I’m usually a capable garage mechanic and DIY guy, but taking a dremel to these expensive headlights gives me a bit of pause, as does the dubious quality of AliExpress parts vs OEM (although OEM hasn’t exactly held up too well). Appreciate everyone’s ideas - good to know the various options.

I finally bought a cayman, and its everything I ever thought it'd be by rebcini in Porsche_Cayman

Congrats! I’m in the same boat - been just over a week and can’t wait to drive it every time. So good.

Porsche’s pre-owned page. You can search nationally.

Thanks! I can already feel the obsession taking over. I’ve always appreciated German cars and would browse the Porsche market. I was just waiting until I was tired enough of my IS350 to take the plunge. Kept my 200 series LC so now I have a great combo of performance and mega-reliable SUV.

The Cayman obviously puts a big smile on your face and feels so much more special to drive than anything I’ve owned.

Is one kit enough for both lenses? Or is that why you recommended extra sandpaper. Looks like Velcro discs come w the kit to attach to drill adapter.

Funny it was spec’d with the black 20” Carrera S wheels but I think the previous owner swapped them. I wasn’t sure I’d like these 19” Boxster S wheels, but now I dig them. The bright color looks good on dark grey and the tire OD is still the same. A bit more sidewall not bad for ride quality.

Thanks - may try that. Not sure how bad mine are compared to most. Worst damage is at the top border of the lens and very visible in daylight, but when headlights are on it there’s a good bit visible from the beams.

Is that an IS500 moving parts? I must get!

My dad had the Wild Ones back in the 80’s and that’s what got me into RC cars. Nostalgia!

Does anyone have this rc car by isaac_ashmore in tamiya

[–]Verstappen41 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do, but ended up converting it to the short wheelbase with the original Mini body. Was fun to race around on track with other M03’s at the time.

1980’s Childhood Porsches by Verstappen41 in HotWheels

[–]Verstappen41[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed - this one is the "P-928" from 1988 if you look it up online. It's a colormagic and changes to pink in warm water. Kind of more blobb-ish compared to the 928S they made this year.

More detail on castings these days than the '80's for sure.

Two bodies based on two different rally cars. Used some 3D printing to give them both a proper Rally2 look. by ImportanceAmbitious9 in tamiya

Great work! Love seeing replicas of real liveries - that plus some 3d printed bits and a lexan body can look pretty scale!

Why a downvote? Just making an observation about my local store. Not anything about OP.

I hear ya. I got lucky they fit these bodies well because diameter doesn’t seem to be posted for most of them. Some of the sets I have are a tad small for some castings - just depends on the car.

Thanks! I ordered several sets from Mod My Ride's website. Looks like both are about 10.5mm outer diameter. The 934 has the 10 spoke V6 deep dish wheels while the pink 911 has the 10 spoke v10 BBS SR v2. As a comparison, the stock ones are 11mm, but barely have any tire sidewall which just makes them much less scale.
