Rpphobby ! Has them And I got mine finished it was very nerve racking cutting it out lol oh well ill let the pics do the talking



I had to cut a hole in the rear window in order for spare tire mount to fit





It fits a little sloppy on the side cuz lack of support



But other than that it's super nice

[pobrockcrawler]

that looks spot on with the hard top now, it really changes the way these axial Jeeps look. the green looks great too, i can't decide to do my kit this colour (when i get it) or deep water blue.

[buddamonk]

Looks cool!

[matt_22]

Well crap broke the windshield and both mirrors off lol just with a few flops damn lexan

[matt_22]

Ok ok well so now that my windshield broke I reattached it in the folded down position



And now the top looks retarted. So I cut it!! Don't worrie it's cut perfect so were I can attach the door part on to give it the removed top look. Just have to make attachments for the door pieces. Looks cool I think



And can still run the hard top with the half door look. Also looks cool



Now I can choose different options for the right weather forecast

FYI,.you can get some "Bulldog", it's sold at most auto paint stores. It does a fantastic job in bonding most paints to most any plastics. I have used it on several lexan paint jobs with excellent results. It's in a spray can just like krylon fusion paint, it's what I use to paint all my bodies.
