Robert @ Radical Decals does some great generic and general purpose decals. Overall quality is excellent.

www.slotcarworld.com is a good US source for Patto's Place decals out of Australia. HO sheets typically go for about $7 but have enough to do 3-4 cars on average, sometimes more. Patto's has a very large selection of decals that are mostly unavailable in HO scale. The downside is like alot of 'printer' decals they sometimes lack the crispness you get with screen printed decals. If you are after the right 'look' they work pretty well, if you are after show stopping looks, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

Looking for law enforcement decals? JBOT decals (www.jbot.ca) out of London, Ontario (Canada) offers an excellent variety of decals from different states/provinces in HO scale. Quality is excellent. They offer both 1/87 & 1/64 scale in addition to larger scales.

There are a number of other sources... Jays Race Place (www.jaysraceplace.com), Wizzard High performance (www.wizzardho.com), Scale Auto (www.scaleauto.com) all offer a variety of NASCAR decals (Scale Auto also has a couple good sheets of Can-Am based sponsor decals). Quality is excellent as these decals do not need to be cut from a single large sheet as they are screen printed on individual carrier films (like 1/25 scale model kits).

In addition, wizzard High Performance also carries a line of Beach Customs paint masks for HO cars. Among other things they have pre-cut flame masks to help make that next paint job a whole lot easier. Some samples are here http://www.wizzardho.com/BeachCustoms.htm
Sheets of the masks sell for $5US but have 4 complete sets on each sheet...and with a little care they can be used a few times before throwing them out.

Thanks alot pimps, we still have a bit to go still. I like that the hood is half the bodies length, i am pressing for lights now, i will have to visit toyeast and see whats up with those. I should clone this body and offer them to who ever wants one, i am really wanting to get into the casting thing, just as soon as i have the extra 50 bucks i will get some rtv rubber and the casting resin. then i will have a clear plastic body that would actually have see thru windows, this body is all plastic that i melted down from a dome that i had from a so called bullet case / rc u know the dome that houses the rc and attaches to the remote, i just used the soidering gun to melt the plastic an form it to the shape you see and then i had to smoth it out with the putty. i am proud to sport the citroen and hope that all you enjoy looking at it, in that is were my grativication comes from. thank you for the appreciation.

Good Lawd J, that is naughty. I mean damn! Arite now that I kissed yer ass a bit

Please hook that ride up w/ different rims, so much detail and to keep them cheapo clone rims IMO is just wrong. Don't get me wrong, I am LOVIN this ride, just hope it fleshes out as bad ass as it seems to be.

lol @ finks, i wish i had other rims that would work as good as the originals, i have tried using the ones from diecast cars and have had no luck.lets see if these pictures look any better,

do the rims look so bad now!!!!
