Okay, Michael Bay putting flames on Optimus Prime was one thing - I can actually accept that, as it looked cool. Flames on KITT looks a little weird IMO.
That said, it's well done for a rush job, congrats. One other thing I'd suggest is painting the inside of the wheels black, and it'd look even better.

Having made one of these in 1:18 I thought something was missing, but couldn't tell what it was until you posted the pictures of the real Custom KITT, but you can soon extend the rear spoiler at any time. A great effort, specially the pop up headlamps. I admit I cheated and got someone else to design the flames for me and stuck them on :lol:

Try craft shops, that is where I got mine from. They were a tad to big, but it was easier to trim ready made stars than trying to cut my own.
