Looks good on those Hartge's! Would even look better without that dark foil on the rear windows.

Nah I like the tint, front windows have the same tint so it looks better when the windows are up.

I miss seeing those Tamiya boxes haha

Its probably one of my more favorite purchases, Ive broken it a lot already, but its so easy to ghetto rig to fix while I wait for parts from japan that it doesnt matter.
