Newbie Help

[Michael]

A co-worker dropped an RC Car on my desk a few weeks ago and I've been
trying to figure out what to do with it. Anyway, I decided that it'd be
really cool if I could get an exterior shell that was a replica of my 2002
Audi S4. I thought I could try to get into the hobby by trying to get the
car to look exactly like my car.

Does such a thing exist?

Is that the same body as an A4? If so, here is a 1/10th scale Lexan
body:

The body comes unpainted, so you could paint to match your full size
car. You might have to trim the airdams for a more realistic look.

Yeah it is!

This is really nice. Do you think that I'd be able to trim the airdams with
ease? I was told of a Tamiya Audi A4 STW and that it looked realistic, but
I can't seem to find that one for sale anywhere.
