Hey Guys

That Car is a mix between the Aoshmia Knight Rider and the Joyride Knight Rider. It has parts from both cars in it. The Nose is complete custom made :good:

That's a Bburago Viper GTS with the stripes removed and the RT/10 wheels installed. I know someone else who did that too. I've got the Defender R/C car.

You've done nice job on KITT's nose. What did you use for the foglight grilles? I tried to do them too but didn't succeed.
Nice pics too, modelcars, especially black ones look best in natural light, the details show up better.
