X2...Plan looks good! I would paint the outside of the body and cut out the windows. Of course, that is backwards for lexan...but it would give it a great look....it deserves to be weathered.

Yes I think the weathered look is the way to go just can't decide on a color. also can't decide what I want to do for a front bumper. I do have a question will shoe goo attach the styrene to the lexan or should I use something else?

I haven't used everything out there, but I've had good luck with Shoe Goo. Hopefully other people will chime in with their experiences as well.
